Ingredients
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika to the skillet. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the black beans and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve it on plates topped with the black bean mixture.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
