Bean Salad 
3 cups cold cooked brown rice 
1 (16 oz.) can drained, rinsed pinto beans 
1 (16 oz.) can drained, rinsed black beans 
1 cup frozen peas, thawed 
1 medium red onion, chopped 
1/2 cup drained, diced green chilies

Mix all, chill a few hours, and you have a great summer salad/main dish (if you add leftover cooked beef, chicken or ham)
