a bachelorette fiesta!!

for my dear friend tiffany's bachelorette party, the group of us girls planned a fun "fiesta" to celebrate. i borrowed a recipe from my friend dawn and it was such a hit. i wanted to share it plus some photos from the weekend.

fiesta rice and beans
(again, recipe compliments of my friend Dawn)

8 servings:
2 cans of black, red, or pinto beans (or a combination), drained
2 cans of corn, drained, or the equivalent amount of frozen corn
16-28 ounces of salsa (you don't want it runny, but you don't want it dry, either)
1 pound or so of ground beef or chicken
1-2 tsp chili powder
1-2 tsp cumin

mix everything together til heated through (obviously, cook the meat first!). serve over rice and with tortilla chips. use 3 cups of rice/6 cups of water for that 8 servings.
