I can’t believe the first day of school is right around the corner! As I suspected, this summer just flew by and now we are in the midst of getting ready to go back to school. With all of the back to school preparation: shopping, school registration, getting the kids to bed at an earlier hour, I am now also thinking about weeknight dinners!

Whether they are make-ahead, or quick and easy, I’m starting to meal plan and making sure my dinner repertoire is full!

Mexican cuisine is one of my family’s favorites! We love the flavors, the taste and how easy it is to prepare! We are in love with the Knorr Selects Rustic Mexican Rice & Beans! It’s so easy to make, tastes delicious and it’s very filling! This is sure to be a dinnertime favorite for your family too.

Dinner Made Easy with NEW Knorr Selects!

Quick and easy to prepare on the stovetop, Knorr Selects are ready in under 10 minutes! Knorr Selects are delicious on their own as a flavorful side dish or as part of a one-pot meal.

We love that the Rustic Mexican Rice & Beans Knorr® Selects are made without any artificial flavors or preservatives, and are gluten free! Knorr’s Rustic Mexican Rice & Beans expertly blends rice with red beans, bell peppers and spices into a hearty, southwest-inspired rice dish. It’s absolutely delicious and very versatile if you want to mix it up with additional ingredients!

Because my children can’t get enough black beans, I added even more beans plus diced bell peppers and onions. I used chicken stock for an added boost of flavor, but you can also use water! I added fresh avocado, tomatoes and cilantro on top and served this dinner with tortilla chips! My family loved it! I hope you give this recipe a try!
