Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat the olive oil. Add the onions ans saute until translucent. Then add the garlic, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, black beans and tomato paste. Heat through. Mix with cooked rice.

so easy and so yummy! If you want you could always add some vegan cheddar cheese or real cheddar cheese if you're a veggie :)
