cheesy risotto

This cheesy black bean risotto recipe adds a Mexican twist to the typical creamy risotto. This simple recipe can also be made vegetarian.

Cheesy Black Bean Risotto

Saute some garlic or onion in a pan with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add risotto and seasoning and stir for about 2 minutes (high heat).

Add chicken broth 1 cup at a time and stir until liquid is absorbed.

Add black beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken. Heat through.

Just before serving, stir in cheese until it melts. Top with cilantro!

I LOVE this recipe. It’s so good and easy to make! A classic in my house.

Wonderful recipe! Our son loves black beans so we tried this. Huge hit in our family.
