Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 large avocado
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups lettuce, shredded
Instructions
Start by rinsing and cooking the brown rice. Combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1 minute. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the skillet along with the diced red bell pepper and corn kernels. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender. Season with salt and black pepper.
For the avocado dressing, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add the juice of one lime and 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
To assemble the vegan naked burrito, divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top each with the black bean and vegetable mixture.
Add a generous amount of the avocado dressing on top, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes and shredded lettuce.
Garnish with the remaining chopped cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy vegan naked burrito!
