EASY

Beans, rice and fire-roasted corn come together for this super simple weeknight dinner. Serve it family style with corn chips or warm tortillas. Pantry meals are some of my favorites, and this one is inspired by the Trader Joe’s product I can never leave the store without grabbing – a bag of frozen Fire-Roasted Sweet Corn. The smoky flavor adds so much instant deliciousness to any dish.
