Ingredients
 

For the Beans

  • 1160 ml canned black beans, (2 cans)
  • 800 grams canned diced tomato, (1 can)
  • 1 onion
  • 4 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Rice

  • 2 cups sticky brown rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • salt to taste

For the Salsa

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1/4 red onion
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or more per preference
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

For the beans

  • Start by chopping the onion and sauté in the vegetable oil until soft. 
  • Add the drained beans, reserving 1/2 of one of the can's liquid and adding it in. 
  • Add in the diced tomatoes and the taco seasoning. Add the taco seasoning slowly and taste as some brands may be more/less spice/salty than others. 
  • Allow the mixture to simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust to finish.

For the rice

  • Cook the rice per package instructions as some brands vary. I started by bringing 3 cups of water to a boil and added in the vegetable oil and salt. Ensure the water is salty.
  • Then wash the rice and add to the pot. Cover and cook on medium low for 30-45 mins until soft

For the salsa

  • Chop the tomato, red onion, and parsley and combine with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. 
  • Serve with guacamole or chopped avocado, sweet corn, chopped lettuce, sour cream, or shredded cheese. Enjoy!
