Ingredients

Scale

2 large green peppers, chopped
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
¾ cup water
1½ teaspoons canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
¾ cup uncooked long grain rice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon salt

2. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer.

3. Add tomatoes, beans, rice, cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil.
