Dinner time just got easier with this Tex Mix Rice bowl. This rice bowl has the perfect blend of flavors and everyone in the family will enjoy it.

To make this recipe you first start out by sautéing the onions, garlic, and peppers in a skillet. Once the veggies are softened you stir in the black beans and the Hatch Chile Red Enchilada Sauce. Then you add the seasoning in for flavor and you let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Once the mixture is done cooking you divide the rice and mixture into 4 bowls. I like to garnish mine with sour cream and lime wedges.
