Bring 1 cup of water to a boil with ½ tsp. salt (optional). Stir in rice. Cover and cook over low heat until water is absorbed, about 45 minutes, or cook rice in a rice cooker.
Meanwhile, rinse and drain beans.
Cook over low heat in a small saucepan, or in the microwave. Add black pepper, ground cumin or other spices as desired.
