1 tbsp chili powder
2 bay leaves
4 large garlic cloves, chopped fine

1 lime , juice of
hot sauce
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups dry rice, cooked to yield 3 cups

In a cast iron or other heavy pot with a cover that can go from stovetop to oven, saute onion, green pepper and cilantro stems on high, stirring constantly, until onion becomes translucent.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Chop reserved cilantro leaves.
Add 1/2 of the cilantro leaves, the cooked rice and the sour cream. Stir to mix evenly throughout the beans.
Cover and bake for 35 to 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and stir in the other 1/2 of the reserved cilantro leaves.
