1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Rinse the garbanzo beans if using canned, and chop all vegetables.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

3. 3

   Add Mushrooms and Spinach

   Stir in the sliced mushrooms and chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach wilts.

4. 4

   Incorporate Garbanzo Beans and Achiote

   Add the garbanzo beans and achiote paste to the pot. Mix well to combine and cook for 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Cook the Rice

   Add the rice and vegetable broth to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork. Serve warm.
