Leftover Makeovers for Busy folks-Spanish Rice

Leftover Makeovers for Busy folks-Spanish Rice

Mexican/Spanish Rice is a family favorite and go to recipe. I am always looking to turn leftovers into another delightfully delicious and easy to make meal. It just so happens that Mexican Rice lends itself nicely to what I like to call a Leftover Makeover. All it takes is a quick look in the cupboard and fridge for handy “add-ins”! Inspiration is often no more than 10 minutes away.

Bean Chili

Kid approved hearty, filling and versatile plant based Bean Chili. Make it as spicy or mild as you wish. Serve on its own or over a bed of grains, potatoes and sweet potatoes or squash. Top with a dollop of guacamole and add a side of your favorite bread or quick bread.
Freezes like a dream. Keeps for a week in the fridge.
