Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffier rice.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the Beans
Drain and rinse the canned black beans and kidney beans. Add them to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables along with the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. If using corn, add it now as well.
