Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1/3 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 2-3/4 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring the brown rice, wild rice and broth to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 50-60 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
  • In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, beans, corn, red pepper, onion, green onions, jalapeno, garlic, cumin, cayenne and pepper. Stir in rice.

I added more pepper and cumin. I had to bake it longer until the onions and red pepper were tender.

I made this and my family all loved it. We ate it with tortilla chips as a dip of sorts. Very good.
