Santa Fe Beans and Rice

This recipe was quick, easy and made great leftovers.  You could even put the filling in a tortilla and make a burrito to change it up.

Ingredients:

2 cups brown rice, cooked

8 oz tomato sauce, low sodium

1/2 cup mild salsa

2 Tbsp taco seasoning mix, low sodium (or make your own)

15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed

2 ears of corn, kernels removed (you can also use frozen corn instead)

1 cup Tofutti Dairy Free Sour Cream

1 1/2 cups reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese, divided (or Daiya dairy-free shredded cheese)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.  In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, tomato sauce, salsa, taco seasoning, black beans, corn, sour cream, and half of the cheese.  Pour into a 2 quart baking dish (coated with cooking spray).  Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.  Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and bake for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
