Step 1

Combine the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a pan over high heat. Add garlic and cook for 10 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until the onion becomes translucent - about 2 minutes.

Step 4

If you are using uncooked protein, add it and sauté until just cooked through.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the rice and Sauce and stir quickly to coat the rice evenly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Season with black pepper and serve immediately.
