Image
This quick and easy recipe for Black Beans and Rice is delicious! Made with sofrito , canned black beans and long-grain rice. Black Beans and Rice Serve these rice and beans as a meatless main dish with avocado or a side with steak , pork chops , grilled chicken , and more. My husband is half Puerto Rican, and rice and beans are his love language, so I make this delicious dish all the time! This healthy Black Beans and Rice recipe is similar to my Cuban Arroz Congri , with a few differences. They’re so easy to make and always a hit. A few more of my favorite Latin bean recipes are Dominican Beans , Arroz con Gandules , and Mexican Pinto Beans . Are black beans and rice healthy?

But its third episode, which aired last night, diverged from its main storyline to create a best-case scenario survivalist fantasy of what life could look like amid this dystopia — and how even at the end of the world, food can bring about everything that is still good: care, hope, and love. In the episode titled “Long, Long Time,” we see that day-to-day life in a post-cordyceps world doesn’t have to be as bleak as it is within the quarantine zones, where a military authority maintains order.

Tortilla Encrusted Chicken Tenders

Tortilla Encrusted Chicken Tenders coated with seasoned crushed tortilla chips and served with salsa. An easy, family weeknight dish! Tortilla Encrusted Chicken Tenders I love this fun tex-mex twist on chicken tenders! It’s perfect with a Mexican corn salad or a black bean salad . Chicken tenderloins are easy to cook for weeknight dinners because there’s not much prep. They are already cut to the perfect size so all you have to do is bread them and bake or air fryer. If you want more ideas for chicken tenders, try my Air Fryer Chicken Tenders , or these Pickle Brined Chicken Tenders . This recipe got two thumbs up from my family. They are easy to make, and take less than 30 minutes – perfect for weeknight cooking! I crushed the tortillas in a ziplock bag and left it a little course for texture. The squeeze of lime on top and salsa for dipping, adds a fun Mexican-American twist to chicken tenders. How do you get the breading to stick to the chicken tenders? How To Keep Breading
