One Pot Meal - Vegetarian Mexican Casserole With Rice and Beans

Ingredients 

4 cups cooked white rice
1.5 cups chopped red bell pepper
1.5 cups green bell pepper
1.5 cups chopped onions
1.5 cup Mexican cheese blend
1 cup chopped cilantro
2 cups corn kernels
2 medium sized tomatoes puréed
2 tbsp lime juice
2 garlic cloves minced
2 tsp cumin powder
2 tbsp olive oil
1 jalapenos , slices
1 large avocado
1 can (14 oz) black beans (you can also boil soaked black bean)
1 tsp salt

Method 

  1. Prepare rice in instant pot or rice cooker. I use 1 cup rice to 1.5 cup water ratio to make rice. I do not pre-soak basmati rice for very long before cooking. Just rinse the rice and cook.
  2. In a skillet, heat oil and saute all the vegetables along with spices. Add tomatoes in the end
  3. Now add canned or boiled beans. 
  4. Adjust the spices
  5. Now add cooked rice and fold in the veggie mix gently
  6.  Add lemon juice 
  7. Transfer the dish in your platter and garnish with cheese and chopped avocados !
