Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 small poblano pepper, diced

  • 1 clove garlic, chopped

  • 1 cup basmati rice

  • 2 teaspoons paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 1 (14 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, poblano pepper, and garlic in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is completely coated in oil, about 2 minutes. Season with paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth and pinto beans. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Remove the pot from the heat, keep covered, and let stand for at least 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Recipe Tip

You can use green bell pepper instead of poblano and chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
