Tex-Mex Rice

This is a yummy recipe--I got it from a lady on my mission. It's got some good veggies and protein with little fat (if you use lean meat and low-fat dairy products). You can vary the spiciness by using mild or hot salsa.

Tex-Mex Rice

1 lb. hamburger
1 med. onion
1 green bell pepper
1 1/2 cups picante sauce or salsa
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 small can black olives
1 1/2 cups dry rice

Brown and drain meat, add chopped onion, chopped green pepper, salsa, tomato sauce, bouillon, and sliced olives. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until veggies are tender.

Serve over rice (prepare as directed) or mix it all together. Top with cheese, sour cream and spoon up with tortilla chips. Serves 4-6 people.

Mel, is this the recipe you gave to me that we use chicken with?

Just kidding, I just read that this is from my sister, Lisa. We should post our names at the bottom of what we put up, eh?

I'll have to try this recipe, Lou. Sounds good.
