Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups brown rice using cup included with your rice cooker
  • 1 - 15 oz. can of black beans drained
  • 1 - 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups water using cup included with your rice cooker

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a rice cooker, adding water last.
  2. Pour in water and stir to combine.
  3. Cook until rice is tender and all water has evaporated, approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes
  4. When cooking time nears an end, open the rice cooker and taste the rice. If it is still slightly crunchy, add 1/2 cup water and stir. Continue cooking. As not all brown rice is the same, some brands cook different.
  5. Serve with fresh cilantro if desired.
