"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
1. Rinse rice in a fine-mesh sieve until water runs clear. Add to a medium saucepan along with 3 cups water and 1 tsp salt and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 17 minutes.
2. Heat garlic and 2 tsp oil in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium until fragrant, 1 minute. Add 1 T taco spice; cook, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, beans, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds pepper. Cook until tomatoes are soft, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out skillet.
3. Heat 2 T oil in same skillet over medium-high until shimmering; gently swirl to coat the skillet with oil. Add cooked rice. Using a spatula, press firmly into an even layer, pushing rice up the sides. Cook without disturbing until rice is fragrant and bottom is beginning to brown, 8-10 minutes.
4. Preheat broiler with top rack 4-6 inches from heat source. Spoon beans and tomatoes over rice. Top with cheese. Broil on top oven rack until cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes (watch closely).
