Step 1

Rinse and cook rice according to package instructions.*

Step 2

Finely dice onion and bell pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion and bell pepper for 8-10 minutes. (I use about 3 Tbsp. broth/water to for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)

Step 4

Meanwhile, mince garlic and dice tomatoes.

Step 5

When onion is translucent, add minced garlic and 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce heat. Add tomato sauce, nutritional yeast, black beans (rinsed and drained), sweet corn, and tomatoes. Stir and simmer on medium-low for 5 minutes.

Step 7

When rice is cooked, add to skillet and stir well. Heat for 5 minutes to let flavors combine. Salt to taste if desired.

Step 8

Serve with your favorite toppings. For an extra-cheesy version, add your favorite dairy-free shreds.
