Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or lard
  • ¼ cup white onion (finely diced)
  • 1 small garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 cup of cooked black beans
  • 1/4 cup black bean broth
  • 1 ½ cup of cooked rice
  • ½ teaspoon Mexican oregano
  • A pinch of ground cumin (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instruction

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and minced garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes until the onion is transparent.
  • Add the beans and cook for about 2 more minutes, allowing them to absorb some of the flavors of the onion.
  • Stir in the cooked rice and pour the bean broth in the skillet. Keep cooking for about 5 minutes, until everything is hot. Season with salt and add oregano and cumin (if using)
  • Serve with some slices of fried plantains and a delicious creamy guacamole using the recipe below. This can even make a great meatless meal.
