Tex Mex
Veggie Burrito Bowl
Veggie Burrito Bowl is Tex Mex home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups long-grain rice
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 1.5 cups corn kernels
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 avocados
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 2 limes
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Cook the rice and fold in the juice of one lime and half the cilantro.
- Warm the black beans and corn with the chili powder, cumin, and salt in a small pot.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet and char the sliced bell pepper until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Divide the rice among four bowls.
- Top each with beans, corn, charred pepper, romaine, halved tomatoes, and sliced avocado.
- Finish with red onion, remaining cilantro, and lime wedges.
