Tortilla and Cheese
Rice & Beans
Method
Tortilla and Cheese Preparation
Add the Cheese
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
Fold and Cook
Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
Flip and Finish
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, flip the tortilla, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, adding more butter if needed.
Repeat
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and cheese.
Rice & Beans Preparation
Cook the Rice
In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of white rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Prepare the Beans
In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, garlic powder, ground cumin, and salt. Stir to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.
Serve
Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and serve alongside the grilled cheese tortillas and seasoned black beans.
