Instructions

  • Success® Brown Rice is a hearty base for plenty of tasty add-ins in this savory, spicy, satisfying dish. Set toppings out at the table and invite diners to customize their own bowl. 

    Step 1

    Prepare rice according to package directions, substituting chicken broth for water. Drain rice, reserving 1/2 cup of chicken broth.

    Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chorizo sausage for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Stir in onions, jalapeños, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, or until vegetables are slightly softened.

    Step 3

    Add black beans, diced tomatoes and reserved chicken broth to skillet. Bring to a boil and stir in rice. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

    Step 4

    Divide rice among plates. Top with cheese, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
