Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked Jasmine brown rice, thoroughly rinsed

- 1 (16 oz.) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15.5 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup red onions, minced
- 1 rib celery, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish with (optional):
- Fresh lime, sliced into wedges
- Cilantro, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into your rice cooker pot and mix thoroughly until uniform. Cover and set it to cook on the “brown rice” setting (about 25-30 minutes).
- Remove lid and allow the rice to cool for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Notes
- Stovetop option: Add all of the ingredients (except for the salt and pepper) into a large pot, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cover. Cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
