2 cups of
long grain rice
¼ cup oil
4 oz. tomato
sauce
Salt/pepper
Diana’s
Sports Salsa
Heat the oil in a skillet (such as cast iron) on medium heat. When
hot, add rice and brown the rice for 5 or 6 minutes; I like mine medium brown. Once the rice is the color you like, add the
tomato sauce and stir until all rice is light red in color. Then add ¼ cup of
salsa and stir again. I have the water ready and just as the rice starts giving
off a toasted color add the water to the pan. It will sizzle; as it's sizzling,
add salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook on low,
(about 20-30 minutes) or until all water is absorbed.
Very Easy!!! Take your
favorite mix of greens, one grilled chicken breast diced, all the salad
toppings you enjoy, (like tomatoes, cheese, olives, avocados, beans and green
onions in a large salad bowl). Toss with salsa and add small corn chips last.
Serve with a garnish of sour cream and more salsa. Very delicious and
nutritious on these hot days! Remember there is ZERO fat in the salsa but 100%
Great Taste!

This recipe
is for a one pound bag of pinto beans. Cook beans according to directions on
package. Once beans are fully cooked 2 – 3 hours follow these simple
instructions…
Heat
a large frying pan with about 1/4 cup cooking oil. When oil is hot, reduce the
heat to low and add the beans accordingly. Scoop out the beans from the kettle
by using a slotted spoon; add into the hot oil making sure to drain as much
water from the beans as possible to prevent the oil from splattering. Once all
the beans are added, fry them for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on med/high. Use
a potato masher to mash the beans; they should be soft enough now. As you mash
them, you will add bean water from the bean kettle to the frying beans until
you have a refried bean consistency that you like!
After
you achieve this, you can add salt to taste as desired along with ¼ cup of your
favorite Diana’s Sports Salsa! Stir well. Place beans in a casserole dish sprayed
with a non stick cooking spray, covered with shredded cheese and cover with a
lid. The cheese will melt right before your eyes!
Tip: Because I have always cooked large portions for my
large family I always doubled, tripled and sometimes did 5lbs. of beans at a
time for this recipe. My thought was if I was going to stink up my house
cooking beans I would do it once every few months, instead of once a month!
Freeze the leftovers in tightly covered containers for up to three months.
Enjoy!
