Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup of long-grain white rice
- 2 cups of water
- 1 can (15 oz) of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro (optional)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
-
While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the black beans, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the black bean mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, until everything is heated through.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro, if using. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
