- 1/2 tsp cumin
- salt & pepper
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

Directions
- Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook while stirring, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 5 seconds. Add the rice, cumin, and 1/2 tsp salt and stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth and beans and bring to a boil.
- When it begins to boil cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low covered, DO NOT REMOVE THE LID!, for 20 minutes.
- Take the pan of the heat, KEEP THAT LID ON!, and let sit for 15 more minutes.
- Now you can remove the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Transfer rice to a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
