   1       c            Cooked long grain brown rice
  15       oz           Can pinto beans
   1       c            Shredded iceberg lettuce
   1       c            Coarsely chopped tomato
   1       md           Red bell pepper

  Stem, seed, and coarsely chop bell pepper.  Chop onion
  and cilantro leaves.
  In a 2-3 quart microwave safe bowl mix rice, beans,
  1/2 cup lettuce, 1/2 cup tomato, 1/2 of the bell

  Cover and cook on full power for 3 minutes.  Stir,
  cover, and cook until hot throughout, 1 to 2 minutes
  longer. Stir in remaining vegetables.  Spoon into
  individual bowls and garnish with salsa, yogurt, and

  into bowls, my wife a nd I love to eat this in flour
  tortillas, wrapping it up like a burrito!
