Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water

Beans & Vegetables

  • 1 cup cooked black beans (or canned, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced

Toppings & Extras

  • 1/2 cup fresh salsa (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until clear, then combine it with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the beans and corn: If using canned black beans and corn, drain and rinse them well. If using frozen corn, thaw it before assembling.
  3. Assemble the bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice as the base. Top each with black beans, corn, diced avocado, and a generous spoonful of fresh salsa.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Mix ingredients together if desired and serve immediately for a fresh, healthy meal.

Notes

  • For added protein, consider adding some cooked grilled tofu or tempeh.
  • Use brown rice for a higher fiber alternative.
  • Customize toppings with shredded cheese, sour cream, or lime wedges if not strictly vegetarian.
  • Salsa can be mild or spicy according to preference.
