This is an easy recipe with some leftover rice for a quick lunch box. Ingredients:
Peppers - chopped into small cubes (1 /2 cup)
Onions - Chopped small (1/2 cup)
Beans - 1/2 can any type (I used cannellini, but black beans would be colorful n tastier)
Taco Bell or Ortega Seasoning Mix - 1 to 2 tsps
Garlic - 1 clove
cumin - 1/2 tsp
salt/chilli flakes(optional)
Oil - 1 tbsp
Cooked Rice - 2 cups
Method:
- In a pan add oil and fry cumin, garlic lightly and red pepper flakes if using.
- Then add chopped onions and peppers and cook until done.
- Then add 1/2 can of canellini beans along with Taco seasoning, add 1/2 cup of water, mix well and let it cook for 5 mins on medium high heat. The gravy thickens gradually and finally add the cooked rice and mix well. Steam the whole mixture for 5 mins to have an aromatic and spicy mexican rice.
