Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, chipotle peppers, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Serve the chipotle rice bowl topped with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
