This skillet is such an easy weeknight one pot meal! The less dishes to clean the better, right?!
Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. If you have one with a lid, that would be preferred to use later to melt the cheese, but it’s not necessary.
Add the minced garlic, chopped peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook for about 5 – 10 minutes, until the peppers begin to soften.
Mix in the drained black beans, diced tomatoes, rice and the spices. Stir to combine. The precooked 90 second rice is great in this dish, no long wait for the rice to cook! Bring the mixture to a low boil and turn down to medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, until liquid from the tomatoes has been absorbed and the rice looks fluffy.
Top with the shredded cheese of your choice. In this recipe I am using a Mexican cheese blend, but you can use really any type of shredded cheese.
You can cover the pan with the lid to speed up the melting but it’s not necessary. The cheese will melt without accelerating the process 🙂
Serve immediately!! Hope you enjoy!!
