Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
2 bell pepper, chopped (red, orange, yellow, or green bell pepper)
1 can (15 oz) black beans (drained & rinsed)
1 bag (10 oz) shredded cabbage (about 3 cups shredded cabbage)
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup ready-to-serve-Minute brown rice
1 packet taco seasoning
juice of 1 lime
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed (I use garlic paste)
corn tortillas & taco toppings

Instructions

In large skillet, over medium-high heat, add olive oil, onion, and bell peppers. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the black beans, shredded cabbage, frozen corn, brown rice, taco seasoning, lime juice, and garlic. Stir together and reduce heat to medium. Let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Spoon mixture into corn tortillas and top with your favorite taco toppings.

Notes

Please note that this recipe does not call for dry rice. DO NOT add dry rice as there is not enough liquid to cook it. Use the ready-to-serve rice (as pictured above in the blog post) OR use leftover rice that is already cooked.

See the picture in the post for the brown rice. It comes in a 2-pack with white containers. This recipe uses 1 container from that pack. It is also equal to 1 cup of rice if you are using leftover rice or cooking your own. The brand is Minute Rice and it's the ready-to-serve rice that microwaves for 1 minute.

Nutrition information is for one taco (veggie filling + corn tortilla) and it does not include any extra toppings.
