1 teaspoon vegetable oil
½ cup yellow onion, diced
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 cup wild rice, cooked
1 can diced tomatoes, no salt added (14.5 ounces)
1 can kidney beans, no salt added, drained and rinsed (14.5 ounces)

Notes
When in season, fresh tomatoes could be substituted for canned tomatoes; one 14.5 ounce can is about 5 to 6 peeled, whole tomatoes. Fresh garlic could be used instead of garlic powder. Jalapeno or red pepper flakes could be added for a little spice. Add chicken, turkey sausage or lean beef for more protein.
