rice and beans
Latin American pairing
Rice and beans is a staple dish across Latin American, Caribbean, and Southern U.S. cuisines, combining the two ingredients in countless regional variations—black beans and rice, red beans and rice, rice and peas.
The combination forms a complete protein and has long been associated with economical, everyday eating.
We had rice and beans for dinner three nights this week.
