Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium-sized pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans. Set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Dice the red onion and bell pepper, and then add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft.
Add the frozen corn to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the corn is fully heated. Stir in the black beans, chipotle powder, cumin powder, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes until well-combined.
Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the cilantro. Set them aside.
Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and distribute it evenly among serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the black bean mixture, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Cut the lime into wedges and serve each burrito bowl with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
