Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • ½ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 cup uncooked U.S.-grown long-grain white rice
  • 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (13.5) oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can black beans (or pinto beans), drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded dairy-free cheddar cheese
  • green onion and chopped cilantro, to garnish

Directions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned in spots. 
  • Add the tomato paste, garlic, taco seasoning, and cumin and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the veggies are coated in the tomato paste. 
  • Add the long-grain rice, broth, and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is cooked. 
  • Stir in the black beans and ½ cup of the cheese and cook another couple of minutes until warmed through. Taste and add salt if needed (about ¼ to ½ teaspoon sea salt).
  • Cover with the other ½ cup of cheese and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, just until melted. 
  • Top with cilantro, chopped avocado and green onions.
