Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the white rice according to package directions, typically by combining 1 cup rice with 2 cups water in a pot, bringing to a boil, then reducing heat to low, covering, and simmering for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  2. While rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add 1 diced yellow onion, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 1 diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the rinsed and drained black beans.
  6. Serve the pork and pepper mixture over the cooked white rice, topping with salsa if desired.
