This is not typical Sunday dinner. This is "I'm tired" fare; nonetheless, it is tasty. There will be cornbread served alongside.
Tex-Mex Red Beans and Rice
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 Tablespoon chili powder (more if you like it spicy)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup salsa, any kind
1/4 cup water
1 cup uncooked rice
sour cream
Cook rice according to package directions.
At the same time, heat the oil in a skillet. Add onions and sauté 'til tender and translucent. Then add the chili powder to toast, 1 minute. Add the beans, salsa and water. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup water.
Bring to a light boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes – longer if the mixture is too watery.
Serve over the rice with a dollop of sour cream.

@Carmie I just want to caution you that this version is not like the long-cooked, thick and creamy, Louisiana type of red beans. Although still a good dish, this recipe is very different. I do not want you to be disappointed.
BTW, I use Red Kidney Beans, not the dark ones, but I think that's more about personal preference.

@IamMrsG. I can eat red beans out of the can. I know I won't be disappointed. Sounds yummy.

I just might have to make this tonight. I've been wanting something with rice. Thanks for the recipe.
I prefer a canned red bean--Goya makes them. I don't care for kidney beans as I think their skins are too tough.
