Hatch Chile Rice and Beans

This is a quick and easy recipe, adapted from the Green Chile Rice with Black Beans in the Forks Over Knives Cookbook, but using the in-season Hatch chiles which are being roasted and sold at our local Central Market and prepared rice. You can also find roasted Hatch green chiles in cans or jars. Costco has a very good roasted Hatch chile sauce, sold in jars, that can also be used. Packaged or frozen brown rice and canned black beans make this dish easy to prepare on a busy day. I like to keep a package or two of Trader Joe's frozen organic brown rice on hand, as well as their organic black beans. Fresh lime juice squeezed on at the end adds an unexpected brightness to this dish.
