  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, tomato, pepper and jalapeño and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the garlic, chilli powder and cumin and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring.
  2. Stir in the beans, rice, stock, the coriander stalks and half of the cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Stir to combine together, then cover the pan with tin foil and cook over a medium-high heat for 15 minutes or until all the stock has been absorbed by the rice, stirring every few minutes.
  4. Turn the grill on to a high heat. Remove the tin foil and sprinkle the rice mixture with the remaining cheese. Place the pan under the grill for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is bubbling.
  5. Allow to rest for five minutes, then top with the chopped coriander leaves and serve in bowls.
