Ingredients:

Serving

1 (28 oz) can black beans (with juice)
2 cups white rice
4 cups water
1 tbsp dried onion flakes
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 -2 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp minced garlic cloves
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 cup olive oil
corn tortilla, grilled
1/2 yellow onion, diced small
salt and pepper

Directions:

Thoroughly combine tomatoes, olive oil, onion, basil, pepper, and 1 - 2 T salt. Set aside for flavors to meld. Stir occasionally. (Note: The tomato mixture should be quite salty - it will meld down with the beans and unsalted rice and be just perfect!)
Place beans and juice in a pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low-medium and cover. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Combine rice, water, dried onion. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
Remove 1 cup of the beans and smash with a fork. Stir into pot of beans to thicken remaining beans.
Heat dry skillet and flip corn tortillas to warm and soft.(cast iron skillet works best). Roll warm tortillas and place in a basket with towel or a tortilla server to keep them warm and moist.
Dish rice into individual bowls. Top with a healthy serving of beans and as much of the tomato salsa as you like. Do not pre-mix before serving. Serve with tortillas. Scoop the rice and beans into/onto the tortilla and enjoy.
Leftovers make a GREAT next day lunch!
