Yellow Rice with Beans is a colorful Mexican dish that is much more than just rice and beans. This side dish combines a mixture of chopped fresh cilantro, pinto and black beans, yellow corn, red

bell pepper, onions, garlic and stewed tomatoes. This wonderful mixture cooks on the stovetop in only 30 minutes - no stirring necessary! Preparation is easy - just a matter of chopping up a few veggies and opening a few cans. Throw it all in a large skillet and come back in a half an hour and this dish is ready!

Yellow rice gets its yellow color and unique flavor from saffron, a spice that comes from a flower native to Southwest Asia. Though saffron is considered the world's most expensive spice by weight, you can fortunately find packaged yellow rice at a very low cost in the rice and beans section of most

grocery stores. Yellow Rice with Beans can be served as a side dish or a main course, and can be served with chicken to make a fabulous dinner or lunch. For more info, see Chicken Cilantro with Rice & Beans.
