Ingredients used in Mexican Skillet Rice:

Black Beans

Black beans or Black turtle Beans are black-colored, oblong-shaped peas up to 1/2-inches in length, with a slightly less pronounced – boat shape when compared to kidney beans.

Canned black beans are a handy, versatile, ready-to-use ingredient that you can use to boost the nutrient content of your dishes. A Rich source of plant-based protein and fiber. This makes them a weight-loss-friendly food that may also help you manage blood sugar levels and lower your risk of heart disease.

Flavor and texture-wise; Black beans are soft, creamy, and mild. They don’t have an overwhelming or strong flavor, which is why they are good in so many dishes. They take on flavor from salt and the ingredients they are cooked with.

Mexican Chicken Sausages

I have used Smoked Chicken Sausages in this recipe. You can also use Mexican Chorizo or any smoked sausage that you like. The sausages will be cut up and pan-fried as the first step in cooking.

Sun-Dried Tomato Paste

Sun-dried tomatoes have an intense sweet-tart flavor that’s much more potent than fresh tomatoes, so a little goes a long way.  The paste lends a smokier, deeper flavor than regular Tomato Paste. The Paste is made from Rehydrated Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Oil, Vinegar, Salt, and other seasonings like Garlic and Pepper.
