This was definitely quick and easy. I think the kids would absolutely love it. I'd be interested to try again with shredded rotisserie chicken instead of the tuna, and maybe some different herbs. A great wealth of possibilities for this one :)

This was quick and tasty. I used jasmine rice, cooked with chicken broth. When it was done I added the beans, tuna, and spices (including garlic powder), then the tuna when everything was heated through. Very filling and the kids liked it. Thinking it'll make a great quick lunch!

This is really nice. It's quick and so easy. I don't use instant rice but ir was nothing to make it with regular rice half cooked. I ley it come to room temp before serving on this summer evening and it was and it was lovely. Made for Photo Tag.
