Savory Bean and Rice Medley

1. Rice Cooking

In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

2. Vegetable Sauté

While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cumin, and chili powder; cook for an additional minute.

3. Beans Addition

Add the black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through, approximately 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Combining

Fluff the rice with a fork and add it to the skillet with the bean mixture. Stir to combine over low heat.

5. Garnish and Serve

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
