Chipotle Rice & Beans

A great side dish to accompany chicken. Easy to make & courtesy of a Woman's World magazine I found in the work break room.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup uncooked rice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 Tbsp Tabasco chipotle pepper sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed & drained
1 (2 oz) jar pimientos
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro *optional

In a pot melt butter over medium heat
Add rice, garlic, hot sauce, & cumin
Cook, stirring, 1 min
Add broth; bring to a boil
Reduce heat to low; cover
Cook until rice is tender & liquid is absorbed, 15-20 mins
Stir in beans, pimientos, green onions, & cilantro
Transfer to a serving bowl

*I didn't use the cilantro because my husband doesn't like it & this dish tasted great!
