Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup uncooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups water
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 cup cooked black beans (canned or freshly cooked)
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
Condiment
- 1/2 cup salsa (mild or spicy, based on preference)
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes (for white rice) or 40-45 minutes (for brown rice), until the water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Prepare the Ingredients: While the rice is cooking, drain and rinse black beans if using canned. If using frozen corn, thaw it. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and have the salsa ready.
- Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, add a generous scoop of cooked rice as the base. Top with black beans, corn, diced avocado, and a spoonful of salsa. Mix gently if desired or leave layered for presentation.
Notes
- Use brown rice for a higher fiber content and nuttier flavor.
- Fresh corn adds more sweetness than canned or frozen options.
- Add lime juice and chopped cilantro for extra freshness.
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, or jalapeños for added flavor.
- This recipe is easily customizable to fit vegan or gluten-free diets.
