Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups cooked black beans, drained
- 1 cup roasted corn
Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground chili powder
Toppings & Garnishes
- Creamy chipotle sauce

Instructions
- Prepare the rice: Cook rice according to package instructions until fluffy and set aside.
- Season and heat black beans: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the drained black beans with ground cumin and chili powder. Stir and cook until beans are heated through thoroughly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Heat the corn: Warm the roasted corn either on the stovetop in a small pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or microwave it until heated evenly.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with seasoned black beans and roasted corn.
- Add toppings and garnishes: Spoon creamy chipotle sauce over each bowl. Add lime wedges, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro on top for freshness and flavor.
- Serve with tortillas: Serve toasted tortillas on the side or crumble them over the top for added texture and crunch.
Notes
- You can substitute brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain option.
- Add some shredded cheese or sour cream if not vegan for extra creaminess.
- Adjust chili powder and chipotle sauce for your preferred spice level.
- Leftover bowls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, best if assembled fresh.
