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
  • Lime wedges
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Optional

  • Toasted tortillas (whole or crumbled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: Cook rice according to package instructions until fluffy and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with seasoned black beans and roasted corn.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
