I had a few ingredients for nachos on hand tonight as that was a meal Mark and I wanted to eat a few weeks ago but, sadly, no onions or garlic. Making something that has good flavor without these two ingredients was pretty challenging so I was surprised how much I loved what I came up with. Sadly, Mark was at a friend's house so I didn't have anyone else to enjoy it with but I also didn't have to share so I had seconds. :)

1 cup rice
1 can black beans, drained
1 chopped red pepper
1 chopped tomato
1 chopped jalepeno pepper
2 chopped green onions
1 cup chopped cabbage
1/4 cup goat cheese crumbles
1 teaspoon cumin
salt to taste
3 cloves garlic* (*I didn't have any so I used garlic powder to taste)
Prepare rice per directions. Saute garlic and peppers a few minutes and add tomato, black beans, salt and cumin for a few minutes until warm. Puree until blended but still a little chunky. Pour over rice. Spread diced cabbage, green onion and goat cheese crumbles over the top. Enjoy!
