Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 19oz can black beans (2 cups), drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup teriyaki sauce (make sure it is the thicker sauce and not a thin marinade)
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 14oz can pineapple tidbits (or 1 ½ cups fresh pineapple, chopped)
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 handful cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the rice: prepare your rice according to package directions.
  • Heat the beans: add the black beans and teriyaki sauce to a medium pan, and put over medium-low heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until the beans are heated through.
  • Warm the tortillas (optional): on a gas stove, use tongs to hold a tortilla over a flame for about 20 seconds per side to warm them. If you do not have a gas stove, warm the tortillas, by preheating the oven to 350F (180C), wrapping the tortillas in foil, and baking for 10 to 15 minutes until warmed throughout.
  • Assemble the tacos: take a tortilla and add a scoop of the cooked rice, a scoop of the teriyaki black beans, and then top with red pepper, pineapple bits, red onion, and cilantro. Enjoy!
