Southwest Black Bean And Rice (Crock-Pot) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (16 ounce) bag dried black beans
    1 (16 ounce) bag brown rice
    1 red onion (chopped)
    3 jalapeno peppers (seeded and chopped)
    7 cups water
    1/4 cup lime juice (or lemon)
    1 cup cilantro (chopped)
    2 (8 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
    1 (16 ounce) bag frozen corn
    1 (16 ounce) bag four-cheese Mexican blend cheese
Preparation
    Rinse and sort beans. Mix beans, rice, onion, jalapenos, and water into crock-pot. Cook on low for 8.5 hours.
    Add lime juice, cilantro, tomatoes, corn, and cheese. At this time also add 1/3 cup of desired cajun seasoning (Tony's, Emeril's, Luzianne, etc.). I use Lusianne, because it has less sodium. Continue cooking for another 30 minutes.
    Serve warm by itself or, wrapped in a flour tortilla like a burrito, or serve with tortilla chips like a dip.
    Add a dab of sour cream and/or guacamole for color, texture, and taste.
