Description
This one-skillet rice dish includes all the best components of a good vegetarian black bean burrito or taco, but without the tortilla. Queso fresco gives the dish a lighter feel, but you can also substitute grated cheddar cheese or jack and run it under the broiler until melted (in this case, wait to add the cilantro until serving). Enjoy the dish on its own or alongside black beans, fried eggs, or grilled chicken or shrimp. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Jennifer Clair.

Good recipe, but spices were a little strong. I would half the paprika next time. Served with avocado and sour cream.
