Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add the rice and stir until it is coated with the olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice has started to brown.

Step 2

Add the water, salt, and lime zest and bring to a boil. Then, cover the pot with a tight lid and lower the heat to maintain a very low simmer. Cook for 15 minutes without opening the lid.

Step 3

Open the lid and add the black beans, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir everything together and cover it with a lid again. Then, remove it from the heat. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
