Instructions

1

Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.

2

In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3

In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the corn kernels for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred. Remove from heat.

4

Prepare the lime dressing by whisking together lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of olive oil.

5

Assemble the bowl: Start with a base of brown rice, then layer with black beans, sautéed corn, diced bell pepper, chopped red onion, and avocado slices.

6

Drizzle the lime dressing over the bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

  • Meal Prep: Cook the rice and beans in advance for a quick assembly during busy weekdays.
  • Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the chili powder or add diced jalapeños for more heat.
  • Veggie Variations: Swap bell peppers for cherry tomatoes or add shredded lettuce for crunch.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently or enjoy cold.
