This is a such a great, flavorful meal. If you have precooked rice, it is even faster. If not, first step is to cook your rice.
Next up, start by chopping you veggies. You can add in whatever vegetables you choose, but I’ll show you what I used. I started red onion, zucchini and bell peppers, corn and tomatoes.
Okay, start by sauteing you veggies that are a little more crunchy. I started with my onions and peppers.
Next up, prep your sausages. I chopped them into 1/2 inch rounds.
I used a jalapeno and mango chicken sausage. It is so good!
Once the veggies have softened a bit, add in your zucchini.
Next up is the sausage. Now, let this cook for several minutes.
Last up, throw in the corn and tomatoes
Now, black beans and brown rice. I’m telling you, it has all the good stuff!
I add in a little water, but you can choose a chicken if you prefer. Let it cook down and reduce.
We served our’s with chips and avocados. You can even mix in cilantro if you choose.
Look at how amazing this looks.
