Black Bean Rice Bowl


I copied this out of a magazine while I was getting my hair done - tweaked it a bit to make it my own and the end result was delicious.

You will need:
  • 1 c. rice
  • 2 c. vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. coriander
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tbsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. chili flakes
  • 1/2 c. red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 c. frozen corn
  • 1 tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 plum tomato, chopped
  • 1/4 c. cilantro, chopped
  • Vegetable oil

Cook rice in vegetable broth and set aside.  Heat vegetable oil and stir in onion, garlic and chili flakes.  Add beans and corn and 1 cup of water.   Boil until almost no liquid remains. 

Mix avocado, tomato and lime juice. 

Top rice with bean mixture and serve with avocado/tomato mixture.
