VERY EASY VEGETARIAN
Black Bean Rice Bowl
This is a favorite weeknight meal in our house. It can come together with just pantry staples, it’s filling and flavorful! We use a variety of microwaveable lime rice, but you can use whatever rice you prefer. We also serve it with a few tortilla chips to add texture.
Makes 2 servings.
Ingredients:
· 1 package microwaveable lime rice
· 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
· ¼ cup salsa
· ½ cup sliced grape tomatoes
· ½ cup diced red or yellow bell peppers
· ½ avocado sliced
· ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
· Optional: cilantro, diced white onions, jalapeno, tortilla chips
Directions:
· Cook rice according to package directions.
· Add drained and rinsed beans to a microwave safe container and heat to your desired temperature, about 75 seconds.
· Build your bowl the way you want! I recommend starting with the rice at the bottom of the bowl and layer with beans then toppings.
