Zucchini, Black Bean, and Rice Skillet

This dinner was so easy (less than 10 minutes minus cooking the rice), so healthy, and SO delicious! My family inhaled it and there wasn't anything leftover. I really wish there was, though, because it was so good!

The only change I made was on the rice. The recipe calls for instant rice but I never have that on hand. Instead I cooked 1 cup of rice and then mixed it into the skillet. This is a meatless meal and I promise you won't miss the meat. If you want extra protein you could substitute quinoa for the rice.

Enjoy!
