Cook rice and for every 2 cups of cooked rice stir in:

Simmer beans until tender (at least 10 minutes):

• 1 bay leaf
• 1-2 cups of water to cover beans

Notes

Makes a great base for all sorts of other ingredients for burritos or bowls similar to what you might get at Chipotle. I like adding easy ingredients like peppers (can just chop and cook them while the beans simmer) or sour cream.
