Put rice, tomatoes, black beans, allspice and salt and pepper into a medium-sized saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and let simmer until liquid has absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add green onions and cilantro just before serving.
