Mexican Rice

This is definitely my favourite rice recipe! It tastes amazing on it's own, or wrapped up in a burrito, quesadilla or even stuffed peppers. Packed full of protein and nutrients, this one pot wonder can be used so many ways.

 

 

Ingredients

 

 

2 cups water

1 cup rice (brown, jasmine, basmati, whatever you like)

1 vegetable stock cube



⅓ cup salsa
1 tbsp taco seasoning
1 tbsp butter
1 can black beans (washes & strained)
1-2 cups spinach

Combine all ingredients, minus the black beans & spinach, in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes, stirring often.

With 5 minutes left to go on your timer, add beans & spinach. Remove from heat and let sit for another 5 minutes or so to ensure all of the water has been absorbed.
