Rice and Beans
"I had a bunch of unused ingredients in the refrigerator (I had made burritos on the previous night). In my effort not to waste food, I combined them into one dish. I do this often...and the results are usually somewhat frightening. But this time, I kind of liked the end result. I used a lot more cilantro than called for in the recipe...and I think it made the dish taste very good. But I suspect that most people will want to taste some of the other ingredients. I don't add any salt because much salt is already added to the canned goods."
