Preparation

Step 1

Throw everything into a stock pot except the cooked rice. Heat on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Right before serving, stir in the cooked rice.

Garnish with Mexican shredded cheese, green onions, and chopped cilantro, and tortilla chips on the side. It doesn't hurt to have a bottle of buffalo Tabasco on the side to kick it up a notch!

* you could also do this in a stock pot on the stove - it would take 60 minutes.
