- juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Heat the black beans in a small saucepan. Add the cumin, turmeric, cayenne and salt and pepper.
- Divide the brown rice between two small bowls.

If you can take the heat, swap out the milder capsicum for a spicy chilli! Jalapeno or Habanero chillies would be delicious!
