Mexi Dip

Here's what I'll be eating for lunch today:

Mexi Dip

1 cup brown rice

1 tbsp olive oil

salt, cinnamon, cumin, crushed red peppers, and cayenne to taste

1 can black beans

1 can corn

as much cheese as you feel comfortable with

ditto on the tortilla chips

Cook rice with spices (2 cups water to boil, add rice and spices, let simmer for 30-40 minutes)For the amounts on the spices, I literally dump them in there and then sniff to see what I think. Maybe a tbsp of each?? If you like sweet, add more cinnamon. If you like spicey, add more cayenne and crushed red peppers

Scoop rice into an 8"x8" pan as a layer.

Add black beans

Add corn

Add cheese

Cover with foil

Bake on 350-ish for 20 minutes-ish

Enjoy with tortilla chips, add to burritos or taco salad, etc

Thank you, Alina, for sharing the basics of this recipe with me!
