4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 ½ cups rice

  • ½ cup shredded cheese, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).

  • Add the tomatoes and sauté for 1 minute. Remove the sautéed vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  • Pour the water into the skillet and bring to a boil.
  • Add the rice and stir for 12-15 minutes, until the rice is fluffier but just slightly tender.
  • Stir in the sautéed vegetables and black beans.
  • Add the cilantro, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese on top, if using.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with cilantro and avocado (optional).
  • Enjoy!
