The ingredients for Mexican Tomato Rice and Beans are:

1 c. uncooked medium-grain white rice
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
6 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium fresh jalapeno, cored and finely chopped
1 can (15 oz.) black beans
2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 c. finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/4 c. finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Here is how you make Mexican Tomato Rice and Beans:

In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 20 min. Remove from the heat and let the pan stand, covered, for another 5 min.While the rice steams, set a fine sieve in a bowl and drain the can of tomatoes. Pour the tomato juices into a 1-cup liquid measure. Add enough water to the tomato juices to equal 1 cup.Heat a 10 to 12-in. skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the oil and stir-fry the garlic and jalapeno until the garlic browns and the jalapeno smells pungent, about 1 min. Add the black beans, salt, cumin, and chili powder; stir two to three times to incorporate the mixture and cook the spices, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato juice and water mixture and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans absorb much of the liquid, 5-7 min. Add the tomatoes, oregano, cilantro, and the cooked rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is warm, 1 to 2 min. Serve immediately.Makes 6 servings of 1 cup each.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MOIRALEIGH.
