>How do you spice up rice and beans without adding a ton of calories?
Moros y cristianos, your pictured dish, is a Cuban (by way of Spain) classic. Ideally, Cubans make black beans from scratch, soaking beans and putting them in their pressure cookers with either a premade sofrito or a combination of chicken stock, pork fat like salt pork, bay leaf, dark sugar, onion, garlic, oregano, and maybe some cheats like SazonGoya which is a powdered msg concoction that is basically a seasoned bouillon powder. But in other words, moros should be made with a very seasoned pot of black beans folded into cooked rice. It's leftovers when mixed up like that, and it's dry and gross if you didn't have soupy beans.
How do you get delicious black beans from a can you don't think is bland? Shop better beans, like "Black bean soup" or "seasoned black beans" and you'll taste a bit of the hint of all the simmered flavors.
It's not traditional, but it's also very common to garnish moros (and other country beans n rice) with a couple spoonfuls of a fresh made salsa (think pico de gallo) or chopped tomato, onion, lime, and cilantro. Can use a mango or other chopped fruit. If you are making a dump recipe, maybe buy the "festival" version of Rotel tomatoes, which has a lime and cilantro component into your beans or rice pot. A whole tomato, and a whole pepper, or even onions and garlic are minimal calorie veggies.

Not OP, but southern-style black-eyed peas don't have a lot of spices and them shits is delicious. It ain't vegan, though.
Neapolitan pasta with chickpeas has no spices and that's delicious, too. That one's vegan.
Paella de verduras is also vegan and only uses saffron (akshully, I use safflower or turmeric cuz I hate the metallic flavour real saffron has). Tasty af, nigga.
You don't need spices to cook vegan food and not everyone who eats a vegan meal or two every now and again is necessarily vegetarian, never mind vegan.

Again, Neapolitan pasta and chickpeas has no spices. Paella de verduras also doesn't have spices (it's allowed to have one spice ^_^ spice ≠ spices). Many tomato sauces are vegan and have no spices. Capcai sayur is vegan and has no spices. Babfőzelék can be made vegan and would still be delicious and has no spices. Many tempuras are vegan and have no spices. And so on and so on and so on. All over the world, there are tonnes of vegan dishes with no spices that taste good af.

And, of course, most meat dishes taste like shit without spices or vegetables to help'em along. Plain-ass meat is just meh. Barbecue chicken is great. Plain grilled chicken with nothing on it is cacadoodie. The only meat I'd eat plain is a good steak, which is weird cuz I don't like beef much otherwise. Just some salt and a sizzle and I'm good to go.

Plain tuna? Maybe, thought it's not really my thing. Plain salmon? Absolutely not. Smoked salmon is good, but not sure I'd consider it "plain." Besides, as good as it is, it's even better with onion and brined capers.
And I don't much care for sushi of any kind, so that's not really an option. Would much rather have either ceviche or whatever that Japanese lemon-marinated raw fish thing with rice that's kinda like sushi but isn't sushi is called.

Bouillon cube when cooking the rice, cilantro and lime just before serving.

A spoonful of tomato paste. Half coconut milk and half water makes for a lovely rice flavor.

Lots of olive oil. Don't over salt. No pepper. A few dashes of paprika/cumin/curry powder. Curry powder actually works really well in rice and beans. One clove of garlic per cup of rice is nice. Two is too much.
