Serves 4
Ingredients
1 small onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, chopped
1 tsp. olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cooked long-grain rice
1 1/2 cups (14-ounce can) black beans, with liquid
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup loosely packed, chopped cilantro
Salsa Lizano, or your favorite hot sauce
1 avocado, chopped
Directions
In a medium-size pot, sauté the onion and red pepper in the olive oil over medium heat until the onion just starts to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add the cooked rice, beans, salt and pepper and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the rice has absorbed the bean liquid. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the cilantro. Serve with Salsa Lizano and avocado.
