Vegetarian Black Beans and Rice

1/2 to 1 cup of uncooked brown rice
2 cans of black beans
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
Cumin, to taste (start out with about 1/2 a tablespoon and keep adding more until you get the desired taste)
Black pepper, to taste (start out with about a teaspoon)
About 10 medium sized mushrooms
2 medium sized peppers (red, yellow or green)
2 medium sized tomatoes
1/2 cup of salsa (more if desired)
Tortillas
Salsa
Cheese, if desired (Almond Cheese or rennetless Cheddar)
Lettuce, if desired
Tomato, if desired

Start cooking rice according to instructions (will take about 45 minutes). In a large saucepan or wok, sauté one onion in water or oil until soft (less time if you like it crunchy). Turn down to medium heat and add two cans of black beans, drained.

Add garlic, cumin, and black pepper.

Add mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes and salsa (if desired).

Cook for about ten minutes on medium and then cover and turn to low heat until rice is ready. Add rice and desired amount of salt and serve on tortillas with cheese and salsa (lettuce and tomato, if desired).
