I love this rice because it is so easy and versatile and you can do so many things with leftovers! Here are a few suggestions:
- Eat it “as is” for a main course
- Add stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce for a hearty soup
- Add guacamole and salsa and wrap it in a burrito
- Add some vegan cheese and make a quesadilla (See KAMAAL’S CHICK’N QUESADILLAS)
PREPARATION TIME: 5 MINUTES (if your rice is already cooked)
COOKING TIME: 8 MINUTES
YIELD: 4 - 6 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
4 pieces Gardein™ chick’n “breasts” chopped into bite-sized pieces, or 2 cups chopped vegan chick’n of your choice
½ sweet onion, chopped
1 - 2 tablespoons Mexican Seasoning
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups cooked rice (brown or white)
4 tablespoons sweet corn chili (optional - Trader Joe’s®makes a good one)
oil for sautéing
DIRECTIONS
- In a large skillet, heat oil and sauté Gardein™ (or vegan chick’n), onion, 1 tablespoon of the Mexican Seasoning and cumin until the onion is translucent and the chick’n is slightly browned.
- Add the beans, rice, and sweet corn chili and continue to cook until the rice is a little bit crispy.
- Add more Mexican Seasoning and cumin to taste if necessary, and stir to blend flavors. It is now ready to serve!
