Beans and rice are one of my favorite pantry weeknight meal. Yo know those day where you really need to go to the grocery store, but you really just want to get home and rest? This dinner is the perfect solution.

I like to make different variations of bean and rice. This version I call Spiced Black Beans and Coconut Rice. I top it with canned mango and peach salsa. The combination of coconut and fruit salsa will awaken your taste buds!

If you have never had coconut rice, you are seriously missing out. It’s decadent and rich with only a slight hint of coconut flavor. It’s very easy to make too.

The best part about this meal is these are all pantry ingredients! I stock up on beans, rice, and salsa in case of any lazy day emergencies!
