Mexican Rice

April 28, 2015 Mckenzie Hettman

Oh heyyyyy, you're new favorite easy dinner recipe is here! This rice is totally versatile! You could stuff it into bell pepper, use it to fill burritos, or simply eat it as is. We made "burrito bowls," and ate this with romaine lettuce and one avocado each. If you have a busy schedule you could make it ahead of time as part of your weekly food prep. Which by the way, I might start doing after reading this article! 

never miss a recipe! follow me on instagram

ingredients 

3 cups cooked brown rice

1.5 cups cooked black beans

drizzle of olive oil

1.5 cups diced bell peppers (any colors- I used red, yellow, and green)

1 16 oz jar of salsa*

1/2 cup corn (optional)

1 tsp cumin

avocado 

cilantro for garnish

method 

cook the rice and black beans according to instructions.

when the rice and beans are nearly finished, saute the bell peppers in a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot until the peppers are fork-tender. (medium heat for about 5 minutes) 

reduce the heat to low and stir the salsa, corn, and cumin into the sauteed peppers, then mix in the rice and beans. 

eat with sliced avocado and some fresh cilantro on top! 

*if you're using store bought salsa, make sure to check the ingredients! The ingredients should be wholesome foods like; onions, tomatoes, vinegar, spices, peppers. NO added sugars...

Try this garlic artichoke dip if you’re hosting/attended a Super Bowl party🏈 My recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthy twist👍 P.S This recipe has only received extremely positive feedback and hundreds of people have made it (thanks Pinterest)🙃 #superbowl

I wasn’t planning on sharing my #bestnine but my heart melted a little when I saw that it was all pictures of my family! So sweet that my family was “liked” more than all the food pics. ❤️❤️
Follow your heart.
I remember when the office was still running and EVERYONE said they had a love like Jim and Pam. From the beginning Brian and I always said we were more like Michael & Holly.. Several years later and a couple beet farmers later, I think we're identifying more with Dwight & Angela😂 #bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica
Do you have a food you eat several times a week, every week? For us, it's this simple arugula salad😍 All you need is a heaping bowl of arugula (my favorite green), shaved Parmesan, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, cracked pepper, and course sea salt. #simplefancy
My garden is growing like crazy which means salad season isn't over yet❤️🥗

Huckleberry scones😋 #summereats
This weekend was absolutely blissful🖤 For Huck's first camping trip, we went to the mountain and set up camp nestled in a field of wild Huckleberries. I mean how cute is that?! It was the coolest thing to have thousands of wild berries surrounding us and the view of Mount Adams was stunning!
I'm dreaming of fall after the last few days of cooler weather and even some rain! Definitely looking forward to the food more than anything😊 This delicata squash and kale salad with maple vinaigrette is the reason fall foods are so pretty🍁
