Instructions
- Combine the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix.
- Heat the oil in a pan over high heat. Add garlic and cook for 10 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until the onion becomes translucent - about 2 minutes.
- If you are using uncooked protein, add it and sauté until just cooked through.
- Add the black beans and corn. If you are using cooked proteins (like shredded cooked chicken) add it at the same time. Cook for 1 minute just to heat through.
- Add the rice and Sauce and stir quickly to coat the rice evenly.
- Check seasoning and add more salt if you require it. Amount of salt required depends on the saltiness of the enchilada sauce you are using.
- Season with black pepper and serve immediately.
