Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 poblano pepper, seeds and stem removed, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 oz cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained (can use black beans)
- 16 oz jar salsa verde (I use Herdez brand)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups cooked brown or white rice, can use quinoa
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- For garnish: cilantro leaves, avocado, and sliced green onions
- tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a 12-inch cast iron skillet or large oven safe skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and poblano pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the beans, salsa verde, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the rice and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Top with remaining 1 cup of cheese.
- Carefully transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 2 minutes or until cheese is browned. Watch it closely.
- Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, and green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips, if desired.
Notes
- If you don’t have an oven safe skillet, you can transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and top with shredded cheese and bake.
