There are plenty of ways to use an easy black beans and rice dish whether as a side, a main, in a burrito, or a bowl. Made with aromatic, buttery black beans, cumin, and lime juice, this simple dish is about to become your new favorite dinner staple!
In a stockpot or saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until transparent. Stir in the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the kosher salt, cumin and rice. Sauté 1 minute more.
Pour in the broth and beans. Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15-18 minutes, or until rice is tender, stirring half way through.
Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
