In small saucepan, warm 2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth; add to rice, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition, until moisture is almost absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup drained canned black beans, 1/4 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese, 2 teaspoons chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
