I've been meaning to make this for months! This is a pantry meal though which means it's perfect for days when you having nothing fresh to eat in your fridge and end up pulling out a can of beans, cook some rice, and voila. The recipe is flexible for subs and add-ins; I had no cheese so mine is sans cheese and I added in some taco seasoning for some extra flavor.
