Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to ensure even steaming.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and bell peppers until softened.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Stir in the black beans, cumin, and red pepper flakes, and cook until heated through.
Mash a few beans for a creamier texture.
Serve the rice on plates, topped with the bean mixture, cheese, and cilantro.
Add the toppings just before serving for the freshest taste.
Provide lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
Roll the limes on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
