Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 batch 10-Minute Spiced Black Beans
- 1 cup corn kernals I used frozen
- 1 batch Creamy Chipotle Sauce`
- 2 cups cooked rice I used brown rice
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 cups salsa or to taste
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1/4 red onion diced
- 1 avocado diced
Optional
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 cups tortilla chips
Instructions
- Start by making your rice by following the package instructions.
- Next, make a batch of my 10-Minute Spiced Black Beans, but add 1 cup of corn kernals to the mixture while cooking! This can be frozen corn straight from the freezer, fresh corn, or canned corn that's been drained and rinsed.
- While those are cooking, whip up some Creamy Chipotle Sauce.
- Now, time to assemble the bowls! Really, you can add however much to the bowl of each ingredient that you want, but I combined about 1/2 cup of rice with 1/2 cup of beans, a handful of lettuce, about 1/4 cup each of bell pepper, diced avocado and salsa and a couple of tbsp of diced red onion. Drizzle about 2-3 tbsp of sauce over top, plus some fresh lime juice, cilantro, and a handful of tortilla chips and enjoy!
Notes
Refrigerate leftovers in separate airtight containers for up to 5 days.
