Ingredients
- 1 cup of uncooked brown rice
- 1 cup of diced onion
- 1 (14-ounce) can of fire-roasted tomatoes
- 2 cups of water + 3 tablespoons of water divided
- 1 tablespoon of chili powder
- 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans rinsed and drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 (1.25-ounce) packet of your favorite taco seasoning

Instructions
- In a large non-stick pot over medium-high heat, add brown rice and onion. Cook for 5 minutes until the onion begins to soften and become translucent.
