Taco, Black Bean and Rice Skillet Meal

Tonight I reallllly didn't feel like making a huge dinner so I went through my cupboards, freezer and fridge to find out what we might be having... 

This is what I came up with.  

I had 1/2 lb taco meat in the freezer so I used that (this was frozen when I cooked up 2 lbs of Hamburger earlier this week and froze 4-1/2lb bags.)

I also had a can of Black Beans and a quart of Tomatoes so in those went too.

I threw in the brown rice I had been cooking while mixing all of this together..

Cooked this mixture down so that there was very little juice left

and then served with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

Can't get much simpler than that :)
