1. Preheat your oven to 425°F/220°C. Place the pepper halves, cut side up, in a baking dish. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; rub the oil so that the peppers are coated with oil.

PREHEAT THE OVEN

2. Bake until they are easily pierced by a fork and slightly blistered, approximately 20 – 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

BAKE

3. While the peppers are cooking, rinse the rice until the water becomes clear, then bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice and cook according to the packet instructions. When cooked, the rice should be fluffy and light, not soggy. Set the rice aside.

COOK THE RICE

4. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add onion and cook until the onion is tender approximately 5 minutes. Add salt, and tomatoes, and stir to combine. Next, add taco seasoning and cilantro, stir to combine, and cook for 30 seconds.

HEAT & COOK

5. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cooked rice, pinto beans, black beans, and fresh lime juice; stir to combine—season with salt and black pepper.

REMOVE FROM THE HEAT & MIX IN
