Instructions

Add the olive oil to a skillet or pot that has a lid. Heat over medium-high heat and then add in the onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes and then add in the garlic, cumin, salt, and rice. Sauté another 30 seconds and then pour in the chicken broth.
Bring it to a boil, stir, cover with the lid, and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Turn off the heat and stir in the black beans and cilantro. Cover again with the lid and let it steam for 5 minutes.
Squeeze the lime juice into the rice and beans and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and serve.
