(938 posts)2 cups rice however you cook it (Instant Pot for me, use "Rice" preset) I add cumin and a little cayenne pepper for a Spanish flavor
While rice is cooking, saute fresh sweet peppers & onions to taste... I love caramelized onions especially. Pressure cookers remove onion flavors in my experience so don't put onions in there.
1 16-ounce can refried beans (most brands fine - I use fat-free)
1 10-ounce can red or green enchilada sauce (most brands fine)
You don't need to heat the beans & enchilada sauce. The freshly done rice & onion/pepper mix will cool to perfect temperature when the room-temperature refried beans and enchilada sauce are stirred in with salt and/or cayenne pepper to taste.
This mixture is great on saltines or burritos (add cheese if not vegan).
