Cook until onions get a bit translucent.

Add in cooked black beans and rice.

Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes for flavors to meld.

Add 1-2 cups of water and using a hand-held blender (or transfer to food processor) blend until you reach desired consistency.

Add a splash of apple cider vinegar and (optional) hot sauce before serving.

Taste and add salt - (depending on how salty your bacon is, you may or may not need it).

Serve into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced bananas.

Enjoy!
