What is your favorite rice and beans combination?

Is there anything cheaper to feed a family than rice and beans? What is your favorite way of cooking them?

Ours is as burritos, meat is optional, but we've always enjoyed rice and bean burritos.

Zatarain's makes a reduced sodium, gluten-free jambalaya mix that I really, really like. Sometimes instead of adding meat (we never add shrimp because I'm allergic to it), I'll just add canned red kidney beans and call it good.

We eat it as just rice and beans. I make the beans the way DHs aunt taught me and we have them over rice. My beans have diced ham or shredded beef in them though.

Hmmm... Can't say I have ever had rice and beans together.

The one I make most often is cilantro lime rice (like Chipotle) with black beans.  It's great as a side with tacos, or as a burrito filler.
