Taco, Black Bean and Rice Bowl -Simple Supper

I am definitely struggling with dinner time lately.  The weather is so nice and the garden is calling...thus I am ignoring the kitchen.  In my post Saving Money and Planning Ahead Tip #1 I introduced the idea of pre-cooking dried beans and then freezing them.  This has become paramount in my spring meal planning.  It is easy to grab a jar of beans and make a simple dinner with them. Here is one we have been eating a lot.  You could make it more taco like and add the corn chips and cheese but we have been leaving those out and still enjoying this recipe.
Ingredients (serves 4-6)

• 2 cups dry rice
• water or broth
• 1-2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 1/2 cup cooked black beans
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• shredded lettuce, spinach or kale
• salsa

Directions

1. Cook rice  as you normally do and but add the taco seasoning into the water or broth.  Be sure to give it a little stir once and awhile to mix the spices into the rice.  
2. Once rice is almost cooked add in the black beans so they can be heated up as well.
3. Mix in cilantro or save to add on top of each bowl.
4. Place cooked rice into a bowl, add lettuce, cilantro and salsa on top.
5. Serve.

I would normally add much more lettuce  and salsa but want to give a clear picture of the dish
