Mexican – Inspired Burrito Bowl

Ingredients:

For the Mexican Rice: (NOTE: Serves 2)

• 2/3 cup Brown Rice, dry

• 1/4 cup Corn, fresh or frozen

• 1/3 cup Salsa

• 1/4 cup Cilantro STEMS, finely chopped

For the Burrito Bowl:

• 1 serving Mexican Rice

• 1/2 can Refried Beans

• 1/2 Red Onion

• 1/2 cup Corn, fresh or frozen

• 1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes, sliced

• 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped

• 1/4 cup Salsa

• 1/2 Avocado

• 1 cup Salad Greens

Instructions:

1. First, prepare the Mexican Rice. Combine all ingredients in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Cover, and let simmer for 40 minutes, or according to package instructions.

2. In the meantime, prepare your caramelized onion. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of water to it. Slice 1/2 of a Red Onion into thick strips, then add to the pan. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the Onion is golden and soft, adding more water to the pan as it evaporates.

3. Heat your Refried Beans and Corn in either the microwave or a nonstick skillet over low heat, if desired.

4. Finally, assemble your Burrito Bowl. Combine the Mexican Rice, Refried Beans, Caramelized Onions, and all remaining ingredients into a large bowl. Stir well to incorporate all of the flavors, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes:

If you already made the Black Bean Tacos, you do not need to make the Mexican Rice, and this meal comes together even faster!
