Black Bean-Brown Rice-Sweet Pepper Skillet Dinner

A quick-to-make, simple, tasty vegan lunch or dinner.

• 2 teaspoons olive oil {or just enough to coat a non-stick pan}
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 cup frozen sweet red, yellow, orange and green pepper slices {I used a mixture called "Fajita Blend"}
• 1 teaspoon dried basil-oregano-thyme blend {I used Edible Gardens Tuscan Kitchen}
• 1 (398 mL/14 fluid ounces) diced tomatoes, drained {I used a no added salt variety. The drained juice made a nice pre-dinner drink}
• 1 (540 mL/19 fluid ounces) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups cooked brown rice

1. In a nonstick skillet coated with olive oil, sauté the onion, sweet peppers, and herb blend until vegetables are tender.
   
2. Stir in the diced tomatoes.
3. Taste and adjust seasonings. 
   
4. Add beans and rice; heat through.
5. Transfer to a serving dish; enjoy.

I confess I have made this recipe only once -- this evening, just in time for the November 30th Challenge deadline -- but I definitely will be making it again
