Chili Beans over Rice

1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans
1 can (15 ounces) navy beans
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1 can (14.5 ounces) chili-style chopped tomatoes*
1 can (15 ounces) black beans
1 can (4.5 ounces) chopped green chilies*
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder, optional*
Sour cream, optional topper

Cook rice according to package directions.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a 4-quart or larger pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions, and stir and cook 2 minutes or until onions begin to brown on edges. While onions cook, drain and rinse pintos and navy beans in a colander.

Add garlic to pot along with tomatoes (with juices), black beans (with juices) and drained pintos and navy beans, and green chilies (with juices). Gently stir in chili powder and cumin, if using. Lower heat to medium-low and stir from time to time to thoroughly heat through while rice finishes.

When rice is done, divide it among 6 serving plates and top with a generous portion of beans. Top with sour cream if desired
