Instructions
- 1
Combine rice and water/broth in a pot, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer per package quick-cook time (~10–12 minutes). Keep covered off heat for 2 minutes and fluff.

While rice cooks, heat oil in a skillet over medium. Sauté onion 3–4 minutes until soft.
- 3
Add chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with juices) and the adobo sauce or smoked paprika + cayenne. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 5–6 minutes until warmed and slightly reduced.

Divide rice into bowls, spoon chickpea-tomato mixture over rice. Finish with a squeeze of lime or splash of vinegar and optional avocado or seeds.
A minimalist, pantry-friendly grain-forward dinner — few ingredients, fast prep, and a touch of heat.
