Rice and Beans on a Friday

Here it is Friday 8:00 and I want to eat not think. Just so happens I have some leftover chicken fried rice, a tin of beans and small tin of corn that dutifully sits in the cupboard for this very moment. 

1/4 c chicken broth if using already cooked rice 

Chopped green pepper 
Chopped green onion 
Cumin paprika coriander 

That just about does it. There was almost a tie between Black beans or White Spanish beans, just because I have two tins of white spanish beans.
