Heat a large saute pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot add your oil, onions, and peppers. Cook the veggies for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
After 5 minutes add your garlic and sliced sausage to the pan, cook for 3 minutes mixing in with your peppers and onions.
Now add your 2 cups of water and rice to the pan. Bring the heat up to a boil allow to boil for 1 minute. Then turn the heat down just below boiling but the water is still simmering. Give everything a good stir, and cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes.
While cooking covered, combine your cut tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro in a small bowl and toss together. Season with just a pinch of salt. Then set the bowl aside.
After 10 minutes remove the lid from your pan and stir everything together. If there is still a little water left in the pan turn the heat up and cook until the majority of the water has been absorbed. If there was no water left your rice may have become stuck to the bottom, that is ok, mix it all in, the little bit of chard rice is delicious!
Once the water is absorbed you can plate your cajun rice with sausage.
Top with your cut tomato, avocado, cilantro mixture, and ENJOY!
