THE METHOD
1
Cook the rice according to package directions and set aside.
2
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 4–5 minutes until softened.
3
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice. Add the black beans, kidney beans, and corn.
5
Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
6
Divide the rice among four bowls and spoon the bean mixture over top.
7
Scatter the green onions over each bowl and serve.
When the math doesn't work
Use whichever canned beans are cheapest that week — pinto, romano, or black-eyed peas all work.
- A spoon of hot sauce or a squeeze of lime brightens it up if you have them.
- Scales and reheats well. Keep components separate in the fridge for up to 4 days.
