I love a good dish of rice and beans. It’s easy to make and it’s satisfying and super healthy. But sometimes rice and beans can be a little bland, and they need a pop of flavor. That’s why I love this spicy rice bowl recipe. It gets a nice kick from green Tabasco sauce, and you can customize it to make it as spicy (or not) as you like. The Tabasco really complements and brings out the flavors of the kidney beans and rice. And the medley of veggies — corn, pepper and peas — give the dish some yummy crunch.

This recipe takes just 15 minutes to prep, so it’s a great option when you need an easy dinner idea. And chances are, you already have most of the ingredients in your pantry. Watch our video to see how simple this dish is to pull together, and then give it a try
