Frijoles Con Queso

This is one of those really easy, quick, go-to meals that you can make in one skillet in about 15-20 minutes. I love those kinds of meals, don't you? And I can keep all the ingredients on hand, even in the truck. I use minute rice and canned refried beans, although you can easily substitute freshly cooked rice and homemade beans. One can of beans and one package of rice feeds my hubby and I, so if you are serving a larger family adjust ingredient amounts.

It's certainly not the most aesthetically pleasing meal, but it is certainly pleasing to the taste buds and the tummy!

Ingredients:
Olive oil
Taco seasoning
Rice
1 can refried beans
Queso blanco sauce

Spread a little olive oil in a warm skillet and fry the rice, adding water if needed to keep it moist. Sprinkle a small amount of taco seasoning over the rice. Add beans, stir and continue to fry until mixture is hot. Add about half a cup of queso blanco, more or less to taste, and stir thoroughly. When completely mixed and heated, serve with tortillas and extra cheese as desired. Enjoy!
