Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1 cup enriched white rice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan

Rachael, Rachael, Rachael. This recipe has changed my life. I am not by far a rice lover, but with this simple recipe I will be eating rice much more often. Then there's the added health benefit of the beans that just makes me tingle. Thank you!!!

I served this as part of our housewarming party dinner, along with the rest of Rachael's taco bar, and my family loved it. A few people had seconds. I got several positive comments on the flavor of the rice. I didn't use cayenne pepper sauce; I just used a big healthy dose of cayenne pepper. I also used an extra piece of chopped bacon.
