2/3 cup water
2/3 cup uncooked instant rice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Cooking spray

1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup coarsely chopped tomato
1/8 teaspoon salt

| Prep: Cut up all veggies |
 |
| Prep All done: Veggies/Garlic, Tomatoes, Spices |
Rice Preparation:
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, and stir in instant rice. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed; set aside.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic.
Sauté 5 minutes or until tender.
Add chopped tomato, salt, crushed red pepper, and cumin, and sauté 2 minutes. Stir in cooked rice, cilantro, and black beans, and cook for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.
Divide the bean mixture evenly among 4 plates, and sprinkle with cheese, if desired.

| If you want a fancier presentation, pack the rice in a small measuring cup or other container, before turning out on the plate. |
