The Cafe Rio REcipe:

Soak Black Beans Overnight (I usually do around 4 cups so i have extra for refried beans, or soup)

Rinse beans and put in crockpot with 1 chopped onion, and chopped up Jalepeno and pepper.

Cook 5 hours on high, and salt at the end. Add a jar of salsa and any type of sweetener (1/2 to 1 cup depending on how sweet you want it.). Honey works great.

Rice: Put 2 cups of rice in frying pan with

2 T. oil,

1 bunch of chopped cilantro,

3-4 cloves garlic.

Fry up for a couple minutes to brown the rice. Pour into a pot to cook the rice and add

lime juice (the more the better, I like to use 3-4 limes) and 4 cups water and salt. cook.

Sauce:

1 c. Vegannaise (real recipe calls for mayo)

1 c. rice milk (1 c. buttermilk)

1 bunch cilantro

4-5 tomatillos (these grow very easily in your garden and you can freeze them without blanching or anything- we grew 3 plants and had enough for making this once every 2 weeks for almost the whole winter. They seriously grow like weeds..)

2 cloves garlic

Sprinkle of Cayenne pepper

Puree in the blender and refigerate till you are ready to eat it.

Put everything in a tortilla with some salad, tomatoes and avacados.

This should make enough for your family for a few days. This is probably the only meal my kids don't get sick of, and we have it for leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day sometimes... SO good..
