Ingredients
Scale
Grains
- 1 cup white or brown rice
Beans and Vegetables
- 1 cup cooked black beans (or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
Condiments
- 1/2 cup salsa (choose your favorite variety)
Instructions
- Cook the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice with 2 cups of water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes (white rice) or 40-45 minutes (brown rice) until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the black beans and corn: If using canned beans and corn, drain and rinse them thoroughly. If using frozen corn, thaw it before assembling. Warm the beans and corn slightly if desired.
- Assemble the bowl: Place a serving of cooked rice at the base of your bowl. Top with black beans and corn evenly. Add sliced avocado on top, and finish with a generous spoonful of salsa.
Notes
- Use brown rice for added fiber and a nuttier flavor.
- For extra protein, add grilled tofu or a dollop of Greek yogurt (if not vegan).
- Customize with additional toppings like chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or shredded cheese.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; add avocado fresh before serving to prevent browning.
