Rice and Beans is one of my favorite side dishes! It complements many different types of meat like chicken, beef, pork, sausage, smoked sausage, etc., and can also serve as a meal in and of itself.
Now, I have seen and tasted soooo many different versions of this side dish before I concocted my own version, and the recipe I am about to share with you is the one that suits my taste buds the best. I prefer that my beans swim in an abundance of a yummy savory sauce, packed with tons of flavor so that my rice soaks it in and stays moist until the last bite. So granted, I have many more ingredients included in this dish other than just rice, beans, and some seasoning, but trust me, the flavor packs a punch!
Speaking of the ingredients here’s what you will need to make this recipe:
Ingredients:
Beans
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
