  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 plum (Roma) tomatoes, sliced
Instructions:
  • Prepare rice according to package instructions. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Combine roasted peppers, beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cilantro, chipotle chiles, 1/2 cup of cheese, and cooked rice in a large bowl.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, warm oil over low heat. Whisk in flour until smooth and bubbly over medium heat. Slowly add milk, broth, cumin, and garlic salt. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Boil for about 1 minute until slightly thickened. Fold into rice mixture and transfer to a baking dish.
