Directions:
(Not so) Hot Tip: When slicing the jalapeno, cut around the pith to remove all the seeds for less spice/heat.
In one pan, add in 1 clove of minced garlic and one sliced Jalapeño and cook until the Jalapeño is softened the minced garlic is golden brown and fragrant as shown. Add in the Canned Black Beans with Adobo Sauce and reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
In the other pan, add in 1 clove of minced garlic and the brown rice to the heated Olive Oil and lightly toast the rice (optional). Add in 2 cups of water and 1 whole can of Diced Tomatoes with Chiles and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Once fully cooked, add in 1 tsp of Cumin, 1 tsp of Onion Powder and Salt/Pepper to taste.
While that cooks, prepare your veggies: Slice tops of Bell Peppers off and carefully cut along the pith and core as shown. Slice yellow onion into ½” strips.
Add 1 tbsp of Olive Oil to a frying pan set to medium heat. Add in Dried Oregano, Salt, Pepper, Cumin and the sliced Onions and Bell Peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Optionally, for more heat, you can add one sliced jalapeño. Cook until peppers begin to blister and develop some charred edges. Then, reduce heat to medium low and add Minced Garlic and cook until lightly brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp of Olive Oil to a frying pan set to medium heat and add the Soy Chorizo and ½ a cup of Canned Corn to the pan. Cook until the Soy Chorizo is crispy. Remove from heat and toss with ¼ cup of Sliced Green Onions.
