We recently went on a cruise in the Caribbean, and one of our stops was Belize.

That place is absolutely gorgeous if you ever get the chance to visit!

They are big on rice and beans throughout the Caribbean.

When we got home, I was determined to find a good recipe equivalent hence these vegan Belize Rice and Beans.

I noticed when eating a couple of different places with beans and rice that the flavor of the rice and beans isn’t amazing by themselves, but when you eat it with plantains, it sure is!

So my recommendation for this recipe is to eat it with plantains!

You can make your own or buy them.

They have them in a chip form at my local grocery store.

The chips were perfect for scooping the beans and rice into my mouth.

Do you ever come back from vacation and wish that you could have that flavor again?

That’s usually when I come back and start messing with recipes to see if I can recreate it.

We tried this other dish made from tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro.

It was like a thick paste they put on homemade tortillas. It was SO good.

I have yet to recreate that one, but it’s definitely on the list! Have you had anything like that before?
