Instructions
Cooking Rice
Cook the rice according to the package or rice cooker.
Once the rice has fully cooked, squeeze in the juice of 2-3 limes and mix.
Cooking Beans
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan sauté the diced onion and garlic in 1 Tablespoon broth until it begins to turn translucent. Add more broth as needed. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the onion begins to soften, mix in the seasonings and sauté for another minute.
Now add the broth, water, beans and corn to the saucepan. Cover and let simmer for 15 min.
Taste and adjust seasonings.
To Serve
Add 1 cup of lime rice and 1 cup of drained bean mixture to your bowl. For extra flavor, mix in a spoonful or two of broth from the beans.
Serve with extra lime wedges, diced avocado, plenty of fresh cilantro, and a side of tortilla chips.
Notes
Mediavine
For an added flavor toss in a can of fire roasted tomatoes to the pot of beans!
If using a low sodium or light vegetable broth, omit the water and use all broth.
For best flavor, measure the seasoning using a full scoop, don't level.
