Rice

Tortillas

Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Cooking Beans

  1. 2

    Sauté the Beans

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cumin, cooking for another minute. Add black beans and salt, stirring to combine. Cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

Preparing Tortillas

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

Serving

  1. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On each tortilla, place a scoop of rice, a scoop of the seasoned beans, and top with cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
