Mexican Haystacks

This was a fun, quick and simple spin off of Hawaiian Haystacks which are a favorite in this house. While it was tasty, there are a few things I will do differently next time. Read on to find what that is...

-------------------------------------------------

• 1/2 Onion, diced
• 1 T Butter
• 1(29 oz) can Refried Beans
• 1/2 c. Water
• 2 T Taco Seasoning
• 1 (6 oz) can Tomato Sauce
• 6 c. Cooked Rice, any kind
• Shredded cheese (I had shredded Mozzarella on hand and took the easy way out)
• Sour Cream (we use plain greek yogurt instead)

Saute onion in butter in a skillet over medium heat until translucent.

In a saucepan, warm the refried beans over medium heat for 8-10 minutes.  Add water and taco seasoning.  Add tomato sauce and stir until mixed until thoroughly

To serve, place 1 cup rice in center of plate.  Layer 1/2 cup bean mixture and layer onions on top. Top with shredded cheese and sour cream. 

Here's where I think needs changed. The bean mixture is delicious but I felt like this needed more toppings. I think next time we will do slices olives, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and Fritos. These leave lots of room for creativity!
