Quick Beans and Rice


This is much quicker than the chili if you are in a rush. 

2 Tblsp. Olive Oil
1 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
12 ounce package Trader Joe's Chorizo
1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 can black beans (undrained)
1 can kidney beans (undrained - Trader Joe's brand has no sugar)
1 cup Instant Brown Rice
1 Tblsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Salt

In a stock pot or dutch oven, saute onions and pepper in olive oil, over medium heat until soft.  Remove casing from chorizo and add to onions and pepperes.  Cook 2-3 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and stir.  Bring to a boil.  Cover pan, lower heat and cook for 10 minutes (do not remove lid)
Remove pan from heat and let stand 10 minutes (again, do not remove lid)
Remove lid, stir & serve.  Super easy!
