A decadent lunch

Strictly speaking, this is not really a recipe, more like a way to combine some food items to get at something that I'm sure I'll be tired of any day now, but it hasn't happened yet.

About beans: I found that if I cook them in a pressure cooker, I can skip the soaking stage (and cook them longer) with no ill-effects.

About flavored vinegar: you can put vinegar in a small bowl and add things like chopped onions or chilies or garlic and get interesting results in a relatively short time (about 30 minutes is good enough).

Ingredients

Cooked white or brown rice (I like white better here)
Cooked pinto beans
Chopped tomatoes
Lettuce or salad mix
Grated cheese such as cheddar or colby jack
Lime juice or plain or flavored vinegar

Procedure

Pile up the ingredients in order on a plate, seasoning each layer except the last one (cheese) with salt and pepper and lime juice as desired.
