This delicious and nutritious meal is so quick and easy to prepare. The combo of beans and rice provide a complete protein, making this a balanced meal. You can add 1 chorizo diced (with the onion) or alternately to keep it vego, I like to add some sliced mushrooms to further boost the veggie content.
