Bean and Rice BotanaBotana means "appetizer". But this dish is so much more! It makes a great meal when paired with a salad. And, it's delicious wrapped up in a tortilla.
To save time, use a bag of frozen onions with peppers in place of fresh. If you don't have fresh garlic, garlic powder will work just as well.
