Savory Shit Rice and Beans Delight

1.Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.

2.In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.

3.Add the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder to the pot, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
