Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the rice to the pot and stir to coat the grains in the oil, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the broth, diced tomatoes with their juices, black beans, adobo seasoning, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the fresh cilantro if using.
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, if desired.
