LEMON GARLIC FRIED RICE AND BEANS

LEMON GARLIC FRIED RICE AND BEANS image

Yield 1 bowl

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup Rice, cooked
1/3 cup Beans, cooked, any variety but I prefer black or pinto preferably not from a can
2 teaspoons Butter
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Lemon
1 Egg (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Hot Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne (optional)
Salt

Steps:

Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, make sure it doesn't burn. Stir-fry rice and beans for 30 seconds then add garlic. Stir frequently allowing for around 30 seconds in between stirs to get some crispy rice on the bottom of the pan but make sure it doesn't burn. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. After around 3-4 minutes add the egg, immediately take off the heat and stir until everything is combined and the egg looks just barely moist (if you wait till the egg is completely cooked it will be overcooked by the time it hits the plate). Stir in lemon to taste and remove onto a plate. Season with paprika and salt to taste. I like to add an additional sprinkling of cayenne because I like a little more heat.
