Method
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the rice, tomato sauce, chicken stock, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 45-50 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Remove the lid, stir in the black beans. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes until the beans are warmed through.
Top with avocado, jalapeño, green onions or cilantro and salsa, if using.
