MEXICAN RED BEANS & RICE

This is one of Jeanne Lemlin's recipes (from her wonderful cookbook "Quick Vegetarian Pleasures") that I have adapted a little to my taste. It is one of my favorite quick and healthy weeknight meals. It tastes good with or without the sour cream, and also is good with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese on top. It makes great leftovers and is good for work lunches.

MEXICAN STYLE RED BEANS & RICE

This slow cooker dish is full of a variety of flavors! I wanted to create a new dish to put on a Mexican buffet using some leftover white rice. We love traditional southern red beans and rice, so I decided to add a few Mexican ingredients and see what it would turn out like. We immediately loved the spiciness the taco seasoning...
