Veggie Burrito Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• 15 oz black beans
• 1 cup corn kernels
• ½ red onion
• 2 tomato
• 1 jalapeño (optional)
• ¼ cup cilantro
• 1 lime
• 2 avocado
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Steps

1. Cook brown rice according to package instructions. While rice cooks, prepare other ingredients.
2. Drain and rinse black beans. In a small pot, combine beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat gently over medium-low heat.
3. Dice red onion, tomatoes, and jalapeño (if using). Chop cilantro. In a bowl, combine diced vegetables and cilantro to make a fresh salsa. Squeeze half a lime over the salsa.
4. Slice avocados. In a separate small bowl, mash one avocado with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt for a quick guacamole.
5. Once rice is cooked, fluff with a fork. To assemble bowls, divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with seasoned black beans and corn.
6. Add a generous spoonful of fresh salsa and a scoop of mashed avocado to each bowl. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
