Ingredients:

Yields: 2 servings | Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 25 mins

2 pouches Eat Regal Ready-to-Eat Spanish Rice

2 small sweet potatoes, cut into wedges or cubes

1 red bell pepper, sliced

2 tbsp Olive oil

1 tbsp Tex-Mex or Taco seasoning

1 cup Canned black beans (or black-eyed peas), rinsed and drained

1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tbsp Fresh lime juice

Avocado slices, Greek yogurt (as a sour cream sub), or your favorite hot sauce. (Optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Roast the Veggies

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss your sweet potato wedges and red bell pepper with olive oil and the Tex-Mex seasoning. Spread them in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.

2. Prep the Bean Salsa

While the vegetables roast, grab a medium bowl. Mix the black beans, cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. This adds a fresh, zesty contrast to the warm roasted ingredients.

3. Heat the Spanish Rice

The beauty of Eat Regal Spanish Rice is its convenience. Simply squeeze the pouch to separate the grains, tear the top, and microwave for just 1.5 minute. You’ll have fluffy, restaurant-quality rice seasoned with authentic spices instantly.

4. Assemble Your Bowls

Divide the warm Eat Regal Spanish Rice into four bowls. Top each with a generous portion of roasted sweet potatoes, peppers, and the fresh bean mixture.

5. Add Your Garnish

Finish your bowl with fresh avocado slices and an extra squeeze of lime. For a creamy kick, drizzle with a bit of ranch dressing or spicy mayo.
