directions
- Combine rice, water and seasonings in a saucepan, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until tender. All the water might not be evaporated. Don't worry about this.
- Remove from heat, and cool.
- Place black beans and pinto beans into a colander or strainer, and rinse.
- Transfer to a large bowl. Add corn, onion, spices and salsa, and toss to mix.
- Mix in rice and cheese.
- Fill quart-sized freezer bags with 3 cups of this mixture. That works best for our family of 5. Freeze.
- Defrost and heat through before filling tacos or burritos. 1/2 cup serving per taco-sized tortilla works very well. Serve with sour cream and/or salsa, and fresh cilantro.

Fast, easy, flexible, freezable and delicious - absolutely fantastic! I used leftover brown rice and shredded Mexican cheese, and used the mix for burritos to freeze and take to work - they froze and rethawed in the microwave beautifully (or as well as anything thaws in the microwave!). I had leftover filling, so I froze that to use later, and the second batch of burritos, made weeks later, were just as good!
