Black beans and rice

This goes really well with the Chicken Picadillo inside or outside the tortilla.

1. Bring 1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan.
2. Add 3/4 cup long-grain rice; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 18 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
3. Stir in 1 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro; cook until heated. Stir in 1/4 tsp salt.

Easy recipe: I just put 2 cups chicken broth in my rice cooker with 1 cup rice and let it cook. I added 1 can of black beans and the cilantro when the rice was done and let it sit in the rice cooker on warm for 5 or so minutes until it was thoroughly warmed. I turned out great!
