Yummy, healthy, easy, and inexpensive! (It has a fairly mild flavor.)
1 c. loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
4 green onions, chopped
1 tbs. lime juice
1 tbs. olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dried crushed red pepper
chicken broth
3 c. uncooked brown rice, cooked according to package directions (I used instant rice and cooked it in chicken broth)
1 can black beans, drained (I added an additional 1/4 c.)
2 chicken breast, cooked and shredded (or shredded pork or beef)
Blend the cilantro, onions, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper in a food processor, using a little chicken broth if liquid is needed. Mix cilantro blend, chicken, beans, and rice. Serve with low-fat/fat-free sour cream and whole wheat tortillas.

I have made this twice and I really like the flavor. One thing I did different was to use way less rice than the recipe calls for. The first time I made it I thought it didn't have enough sauce, which is the best part. I also like it better with plain white rice, but of course brown is healthier.
