Crumbled the vegetarian chorizo into the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned.
Incorporate the cooked rice, black beans, and chopped red bell pepper into the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mixture is heated through and the red pepper is tender.
