Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar (I used cider vinegar)
- Tabasco sauce (a few dashes or to taste or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional --- lime wedges and cilantro for garnish (I love both flavors, but had neither on hand so I added a few splashes of lime juice and about 1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro to the beans & rice
How to Make
-
Step 1: Cook rice according to package instructions or your favorite method. White rice usually takes about 20 minutes to cook. (Or do like I did this time and use cooked rice to cut the preparation time.)
-
Step 2: Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high. Sauté onions and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes, until just beginning to soften, then add garlic and sauté a minute more. Add the black beans, vinegar and Tabasco or cayenne. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Step 3: Stir in rice and oregano. Add salt and pepper to taste.
