Spicy Black Beans and Rice image

I like to use 3 differently colored bell peppers if I can, then I tell my youngest that we are having rainbow beans. I start the rice in my rice cooker before I start chopping veggies. They are a good way to use up those veggies in your fridge that need using! I like to chop enough veggies for several batches, then freeze them for future use.
