Easy Red Kidney Beans & Brown Rice With Chili Flavors (Vegan image

I was browsing through my copycat recipes book and found one for Popeye's Red Beans & Rice which was the base for this recipe.

I had a few green onions so I added them for pleasing color and flavor, made a nice burrito base with queso blanco, spinach, and tofu!
