Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups long grain rice, uncooked
- 6 tbsp The Spice People’s Burrito/Fajita Spice Mix
- 12 garlic cloves, crushed
- 6 cups chicken stock – can also veg
- 3 400g tin corn
- 3 onion, finely diced
- 3 400g tin black beans, drained and rinsed
- 12 tomatoes, diced
- 3 bunch coriander, chopped
- olive oil
- 3 cup grated cheese
- salt
Directions
- Preheat your 180c degrees. Place a casserole pan (that can also go in the oven) on medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When hot, add in your diced onions with a pinch of salt and saute until nice and soft – about 3 mins. Add in your burrito/fajita spice mix, garlic, uncooked rice, tomatoes, black beans, corn, half your chopped coriander, your stock, and 3/4 cup water. Give a good stir to combine and bring to the boil.
- Bake for 35-40 mins or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. If it’s looking dry and still firm, add a little more water and bake for a further 5-10 mins. Top with grated cheese and place under the grill for a couple of minutes.Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with your remaining coriander, serve, and enjoy!
