Tips:

  • To make the rice more flavorful, use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead of water.
  • Add a bay leaf or two to the rice while it is cooking for extra flavor.
  • For a smokier flavor, toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a dry pan before grinding them.
  • If you don't have any fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro instead. Use about 1/4 of the amount of dried cilantro that you would use fresh.
  • Serve the black beans and yellow rice with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese.
