Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Our test kitchen had good results using instant rice in slow cooker recipes. Instant rice is fully or partially cooked before dehydration and packaging. It produces less starch, so the finished dish is not as sticky as in some dishes using regular long-grain rice. And it’s easier to cook everything all in one pot! The beans are great topped with chopped avocado and sliced green onion.
