Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Rinse the black beans under cold water and drain. Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.

2

Sauté Vegetables

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3

Cook the Rice

Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to combine with the vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

4

Add Black Beans

Once the rice is cooked, add the black beans to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.

5

Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.
