My sister visited about a month ago and one of the nights we decided to stay in and make dinner! Took a while to decide (or agree) on a recipe, but finally we settled on an interesting recipe from Everybody Likes Sandwiches - Mexican Black Bean and Roasted Pineapple Bowl.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red onion, diced (separated in two halves)
- 1/2 red pepper, diced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 fresh pineapple, sliced in rounds
- 3 small tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 lime zested and juiced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1/4 tsp hot sauce
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 c grated cheese (we used Trader Joe's Mexican)
- sour cream
Directions:
- Prepare rice as directed on box. While cooking, create a quick salsa by combining the tomatoes, half of the onion, lime juice and zest, cilantro, and spices. Set aside.
- Roast pineapple under the broiler until it chars in places. Flip, roast, and dice. Set aside.
- In a large pan, heat oil and add in garlic, the other onion half, and red pepper. Saute until it gets soft, add in spices and black beans. Heat through.
- Layer all ingredients into a bowl. Rice on the bottom, then black beans, pineapple, salsa, topped with cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce.
The final product was great! I'm a huge rice and beans fan so it's hard to mess up. We were both thoroughly satisfied and happy with the choice! Plus I had plenty of leftovers. Probably made about four servings and with all the fix ins came out to 10 points/serving, but it's definitely a huge serving!
