Smoky BBQ Bean & Rice Bowls
with Monterey Jack, Sour Cream & Tortilla Chips
- Milk
- Sesame
Can’t resist a satisfying side of BBQ beans? Neither can we—and that’s what inspired this hearty (10-minute!) bowl. We pump up red beans with scallions, tomato, spicy Tex-Mex paste, and our smoky-sweet BBQ seasoning. Serve the savory spiced beans atop fluffy rice, sprinkle with Monterey Jack, and heat until warm and melty throughout. Just before serving you’ll add a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with crisp scallion greens, and serve with crunchy tortilla chips and a squeeze of lime juice. So much flavor in so little time—thank you, chefs!
