Spicy Black Beans and Rice image

I like to use 3 differently colored bell peppers if I can, then I tell my youngest that we are having rainbow beans. I start the rice in my rice cooker before I start chopping veggies. They are a good way to use up those veggies in your fridge that need using! I like to chop enough veggies for several batches, then freeze them for future use.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the rice and beans, and they didn't even notice the vegetables.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from this recipe. It was still very flavorful.

I added a can of corn to this recipe and it was delicious. The corn added a bit of sweetness and crunch.

I didn't have any fresh cilantro on hand, so I used dried cilantro instead. It still tasted great.

I made this recipe with brown rice instead of white rice. It turned out great! The brown rice added a nutty flavor and made the dish even more filling.
