CHEF'S NOTES AND COMMENTS:

If you can find vegan sour cream you can add that to the top after the dish has finished baking. This feeds two hungry people dinner or three/four for lunch. It is so easy and tasty I hope you enjoy it.

INGREDIENTS:

1 can of refried beans
1 can of black beans
1 box or package of Spanish flavored rice
salsa
guacamole
vegan soy cheese
tortilla chips
vegan "sour cream"

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preparation time: 10 minutes

1. Preheat oven to 375F.

2. Cook Spanish rice following directions on package. (I usually don't fully cook the rice since you are going to be baking it and don't want it to dry out.)

3. Drain black beans.

Make guacamole (or buy a vegan brand of guacamole.)

4. Shred vegan cheese.

5. In a medium sized baking dish spread out the full can of refried beans.
Layer cooked rice on top.
Layer black beans on top of rice.
Now spread a generous layer of guac and salsa.
Sprinkle cheese on top so it melts nicely.
Now crush up a bunch of tortilla chips and sprinkle over the top of the entire bake.

6. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes.

Serves: 2
