Instructions

To Cook the Rice:

In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the rice and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, puree the canned tomatoes and jalapeño together until smooth in a blender or food processor.
Add the tomato puree, broth, and seasonings to the pan and stir. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook until all the liquid is absorbed, ~15-25 minutes.

To make the Beans:

Heat the olive oil and onion up in a small saucepan. Cook about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent.
Add the garlic and cook another minute.
Stir in the seasonings, beans, and broth.
Simmer for ~7 minutes or until beans are heated and most of the broth has been absorbed.

For the Chimichurri:

Simply puree all the ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.

To Assemble:

Divide the rice, beans, and add-ins evenly among four bowls. Drizzle with chimichurri.
