How to Make Cuban Black Beans And Rice Quick

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 2-quart casserole dish, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 cup chicken broth.
  3. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and bubbly. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld!
  5. While the beans are baking, prepare your rice according to package directions.
  6. Serve the Cuban black beans over a generous portion of fluffy white rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
