This incredibly easy cheesy rice and beans recipe can be made in the morning and packed in stainless steel thermoses for your children's school lunch! It also makes a great side dish for any type of Tex-Mex themed meal. I've also made this recipe with leftover meat! Just stir in chopped or shredded cooked chicken or beef with everything before you cook it. Serve the rice and beans with salsa and chopped cilantro if desired.
