Easy Black Beans and Rice Recipe
Ingredients
 1 cup uncooked white rice (3 cups cooked rice)
 1 Tbsp olive oil
 1 small onion, chopped
 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (for added flavor you can substitute roasted red bell peppers or some chopped pimentos)
 3 cloves minced garlic
 2 16-ounce cans of black beans, rinsed and drained
 2 Tbsp white vinegar or 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or 2 2/3 Tbsp lemon juice
 A few dashes of Tabasco or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 heaping Tbsp chopped fresh oregano
 Salt and pepper to taste
 Optional Lime wedges and cilantro for garnish
Method
1 Cook rice according to package instructions. White rice usually takes 15 minutes to cook once the water is simmering, and 10 minutes to sit.
2 Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high. Sauté onions and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes, until just beginning to soften, then add garlic and sauté a minute more. Add the black beans, vinegar and Tabasco or cayenne. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
3 Stir in rice and oregano. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 6.
