Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the long-grain rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for a few minutes.

2. 2

   Make the Cilantro Lime Rice

   Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. In a bowl, combine the fluffed rice with chopped cilantro, lime juice, and additional salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Combine with Black Beans

   Add the rinsed black beans to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the sautéed vegetable and black bean mixture over a bed of cilantro lime rice. Enjoy!
