    Southwest Rice Pilaf ~ gluten free and vegetarian | 5DollarDinners.com

    This recipe is part of the latest 21 Gluten Free Meals from Costco Plan.

    Please note that the photo above includes green peppers, but the plan calls for red peppers. Peppers can be interchanged easily in recipes, so feel free to use either red or green…depending on what your store has, and what your taste preferences are.

    Love this simple one-dish vegetarian meal. Hope you do too!

      Hi- recipe looks great, however I thought I saw black beans in the picture and yet none are noted in the recipe. Is it supposed to have black beans?
