Ingredients

Scale

Base

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

Toppings

  • 1 cup cooked black beans (canned or homemade)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup fresh salsa

Instructions

  1. Cook Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  2. Assemble Bowl: In serving bowls, evenly divide the cooked rice. Top each bowl with cooked black beans, corn kernels, sliced avocado, and fresh salsa. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • You can season the beans with cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder for extra flavor.
  • Use brown rice or quinoa as a healthier alternative to white rice.
  • Salsa can be replaced with pico de gallo or your favorite salsa variety.
  • Adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the bowl enhances the flavors.
  • Optionally, add chopped cilantro or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra zest.
