Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups long grain rice rinsed and drained
  • 3 cups chicken broth (may sub vegetable broth)
  • 1 .5 oz can black beans optional, rinsed and drained
  • 2-3 Mango optional, peeled and chopped

Creamy Blender Avocado Sauce

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (I use light)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 avocado large, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2-1 jalapeño seeded, deveined and roughly chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro packed
  • 1/4 red onion roughly chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Add rice, beans (optional) and chicken broth to a large nonstick skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low (dial should be a little above lowest setting), cover, and simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring at 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, add all of the Creamy Blender Avocado Sauce ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. Stir into cooked rice until well combined, adding milk if needed to reach desired consistency. Season with additional salt, pepper and lime juice to taste. Garnish with mangoes (optional).
