Steps

Gather your ingredients. (1 cup of dry rice yields 3 cups cooked, so you can get that started while you’re preparing your beans and greens!)
In a large sauté pan, add olive oil, diced onion, pepper, and salt. Cook over medium high heat until soft and glossy, about 5 minutes.
Then, add canned tomatoes (with juice), strained and rinsed pinto beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.
Then, add greens, BBQ sauce, and vegetable broth. Stir and let this simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes, covered. The greens will be tender and wilted once done. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed!
Serve over cooked rice.
