Spicy Black Beans, Corn and Rice

Here's a spicy, fast meal to throw together on a busy weeknight.

8 oz cooked brown rice (I used Uncle Ben's)
1 can low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can yellow corn, rinsed and drained
1/2 a red onion, chopped fine
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
hot sauce to taste (I used Uncle Frank's Original….noticing a theme here with the Uncles….)

Heat the onion in a little olive oil, add the rest of the vegetables and spices. Cook for about 5 minutes, add rice, lime juice and hot sauce and heat on low for about 10 minutes.

The corn stays crunchy and the spices blend together for a nice spicy heat.  I ate it plain in a bowl but you could use tortilla chips, put it in a tortilla or on a salad. So easy and so good.
