4 cups beef broth
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, diced
1 fresh jalapeno, diced
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

1.  Combine rice and  beef broth.  Bring to a boil and then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes.
2.  While the rice is cooking, cut up the veggies
3.  Sauté onion, green pepper and jalapeno in coconut oil until vegetables are tender.  Add cumin and chili powder and stir in until veggies are coated
4.  Add black beans and keep warm while the rice continues to cook
5.  When rice is finished cooking, toss gently with the bean and vegetable mixture, and garnish with cilantro.

Serve this as a side dish with tacos or burritos.  It would also be a delicious lunch just like it is or cut up some cooked chicken breast and mix it in with the rice.
