Ingredients

  • 1 onion, diced or thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (I used yellow), diced
  • 1 mild red chilli, finely chopped
  • 400 g tin black beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
  • 215 g uncooked brown rice (~ 1 cup)
  • 400 g tin chopped tomatoes (~ 1 1/2 cups)
  • 150 ml water (~ 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tbsp chipotle hot sauce (or other favourite hot sauce)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • To serve, your choice of: grated cheese, fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped spring onions, sliced avocado, sour cream, guacamole, etc.

Instructions

  • Add all the burrito bowl ingredients (not toppings) to a slow cooker - mine is 4.7 litres / 4 quarts. Mix well.
  • Cook on low for around 3 hours, or until the rice is cooked *see note below*.
  • Serve hot with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Some people in the comments have found that their rice doesn't cook properly on the Low setting. If you're concerned about this or you're having trouble getting the rice to cook, try cooking on High instead.
