Ingredients
Scale
Rice
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Beans
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt to taste
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Beans: While the rice cooks, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the drained black beans with cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and heat through for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced red and green bell peppers, red onion, and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Burrito Bowl: In bowls, layer the cooked rice as the base, followed by a generous scoop of seasoned beans and sautéed vegetables. Optionally garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or avocado slices.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the bowl before serving.
- Use brown rice for a higher fiber content and nuttier flavor.
- Add toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or salsa if desired (not included in nutritional info).
- For a spicier bowl, add diced jalapeños to the vegetables.
