#Food #drinks #cake #Recipe >>> 30 MINUTE BLACK BEANS AND LIME RICE

Quick and easy, 30 minute Black Beans and Lime Rice! With a few simple ingredients you’ve got a great week night dinner, and leftovers make for an ideal lunch or..breakfast !


The beans are perfectly spiced with cumin, paprika and optional cayenne.  The lime rice adds an authentic ‘gotta have it taste’, and a handful of cilantro completes the bowl!  Gluten-free!


I’ve made 30 minute Black Beans and Lime Rice countless times for my family.  When I feel extra lazy, I’ll toss all the black bean ingredients (except the corn, I’ll add that about 15 minutes into cooking) into a large saucepan. Allow everything to simmer on low for 20-25 minutes or until the onion is cooked.

However I am forewarning you about this method,  I’ve noticed using canned beans sometimes leads to one of my biggest pet peeves, “hollow bean pits”. It’s how I refer to them.  This happens when the black beans are over cooked.  The skin breaks and the bean inside becomes a mush leaving hollow bean skins. 
Now I don’t know about you, but I want to eat the whole bean not just the skin.  So to avoid this, I allow the onion to cook a bit before adding the canned beans.

For more flavor, add bit of juice from the beans and top your bowl with a handful of cilantro and fresh lime wedges.
