Cinco De Mayo by Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867).\u00a0 Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States<\/em>. (source: History.com)<\/p>\n

Cinco de Mayo Rice n’ Beans<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/em><\/p>\n

Rice (I made enough to serve 4 to 6 in my rice cooker.\u00a0 I adore my heavenly rice cooker.)
\n1\/2 cup cilantro, chopped<\/p>\n

1 tablespoons olive oil
\n1 onion, chopped and chopped again
\n3 cloves of garlic, diced thin
\n1 15 oz (or thereabouts) can of Pinto beans, rinsed and drained
\n2 heaping teaspoons cumin
\n1 heaping teaspoon of chili powder
\n1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes with green chilies
\njuice of 1 lime<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/em><\/p>\n

Heat up the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
\nSaute onions for 5 to 10 minutes, until soft.
\nAdd garlic and saute for another 5 minutes.
\nStir in the pinto beans and heat through.
\nAdd cumin and chili powder, tossing and coating the beans thoroughly.
\nAdd diced tomatoes and juice of 1 lime.
\nLower heat and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes have mixed well with the beans.<\/p>\n

When you are ready to serve, mix 1\/2 the cilantro with the rice.\u00a0 Place rice on a platter.
\nEvenly distribute beans on top of rice; garnish with remaining cilantro.<\/p>\n

I did not think that this dish needed salt or pepper.\u00a0 So, please taste before you add, if you must!!!<\/p>\n
