Beans and rice are usually served separately in Mexico, but, occasionally the two are combined in delicious casseroles. This is quick and easy.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup skim milk
3 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly oil a 1-quart casserole or spray with a nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, combine rice, beans, and cheese. Mix well.
4. In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Beat with a fork or wire whisk until well blended. Add to rice mixture, mixing until thoroughly combined. Place in prepared casserole. Press mixture down gently with the back of a spoon.
5. Bake uncovered, 35 minutes or until set.
6. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
