Caribbean Black Beans and Rice

Serves 4 

2 cups of Brown rice 

2 14 oz cans of Black beans 

2 Avocados (½ Avocado per person) 

3 or 4  Roma tomatoes  

½ White/Yellow Onion 

1 TBSP of Olive oil 

*Spices: 

Chili powder 

2 Garlic cloves (fresh & powder) 

Cumin 

Paprika 

Salt and Pepper 

*I use my spices liberally. If you are on the conservative side when it comes to flavor, I suggest 1 tsp of each spice.  

Instructions:

*Cook the brown rice (follow the directions on the packaging of the Brown rice)

* Drain both cans of beans. Let sit. 

*Dice the Avocados and Tomatoes, put aside. 

*Heat the Olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions. Cook till they become fragrant (5 min or so), lastly add the fresh Garlic and other spices. 

*Add the beans to the onion and garlic mixture turn on low to keep warm. 

**You can always add Vegan cheese or fresh Jalapeno’s to spice things up! 

**Now, assemble your bowl! Enjoy!
