Not sure how low calorie it is but this is a recipe I was given by a Mexican friend years ago:
Saute half small onion(diced), several cloves of garlic, about a 1/4 cup of green pepper and pimento or red bell pepper for color!. Add 1 cup of rice and continue sauteing til rice is translucent!. Mix half small can of tomato sauce with water to make 2 cups liquid and add to rice mixture, add about 1/2 tsp!. sugar!. You can either cover or not, but reduce heat and cook til rice is done (15-20 min!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is good! Make this at least 1-2 times a week!. By having beans (little to no meat), brown rice and a tomato based sauce; it is low in fat and good for you!.
