This is a variation on a black bean dish my husband liked in Guatemala. I have come up with several different variations, but this one is both easy and delicious. -Joann Hoye, Raleigh, NC
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup hot cooked long-grain rice
1/4 cup (1 ounce) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add water and next 7 ingredients (through beans); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Place 1/4 cup rice on each of 4 plates; top with 1/2 cup bean mixture. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon cheese.
