Easy Rice & Bean Skillet
Pantry meals are some of my favorites, and this one is inspired by the Trader Joe’s product I can never leave the store without grabbing – a bag of frozen Fire-Roasted Sweet Corn. The smoky flavor adds so much instant deliciousness to any dish.
Whether you’re in need of a 30-minute weeknight dinner or want to make a batch of this for grab-and-go lunches, this Easy Rice & Bean Skillet is delicious served atop a bed of chopped romaine lettuce or with tortillas for all-in-one tacos.
