Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 large lime, juiced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper and corn kernels to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the black beans, chipotle peppers, and cumin powder. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld.
Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Add lime juice, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Stir to integrate the flavors and adjust seasoning to taste.
Scoop the chipotle rice mixture into bowls, and top each serving with sliced avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Chipotle Rice Bowl!
