Latin Bean Vegetable Rice
Now tell me this Latin Bean Vegetable Rice does not look amazing! One of the tastiest rice dishes you will ever have.
I based this recipe on my Moro Rice and added a couple more ingredients to kick it up a notch. And it sure did! One of the best things about this recipe is that if you are Vegan, this is a meal on it’s own. Win, win!
I used frozen veggies (Bird’s Eye Steamfresh), but you can use fresh or canned if preferred.
What can you have as the main protein with this Latin Bean Vegetable Rice?

Made this today! Absolutely yum! I used fresh veggies and fresh oregano (since I didn’t have any ground). Turned out fantastic. My youngest son (19) recovering from surgery this week, came down and said, “Can I have some now or do I have to wait until dinner?” He absolutely loves it too! I’m sure my oldest son will as well. As for my keto husband-he’ll probably be mad I made it but I’m sure he’ll love it too. LOL! Thanks for the great recipe!
Thank you so much once again for making it! So excited you tried it!
