We are having a whole roast chicken and roasted veggies (I love my no fuss Sunday dinner!)

Good with chicken tacos are fiesta beans (chopped jalapenos, cheese, taco seasoning mixed in the beans, tomatoes, onion)

Spanish rice

I would make a side of spanish rice, and a side of refried beans with cheese. You could forget the refried beans and just add some corn and black beans to the rice. Now I'm getting hungry!

What kind of rice? My mom makes spanish rice, but she is at work so I can't call for the recipe. LOL!
