Start by gathering all your ingredients! Chop the onions and mince the garlic to ensure they’re ready to add that aromatic flavor to your dish.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent, followed by the garlic for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Pour in the drained black beans, vegetable broth, and cumin. Stir everything together and let it simmer for approximately 5 minutes until heated through.

Boil water according to the rice package instructions. Add the rinsed rice along with a pinch of salt, cover, and cook until the rice is fluffy and tender.

Gently fold the cooked rice into the black bean mixture. Be careful not to mash the beans; you want to blend the flavors while keeping that lovely texture!

Finally, squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish before serving. This brightens each bite and brings everything together beautifully; enjoy it warm!
