- 1 can Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Corn kernels
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 units Avocados

Instructions
Start by cooking the brown rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 more minutes, then fluff with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and diced red onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add the black beans and corn to the skillet and stir everything together.
Season the vegetable mixture with ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat.
For the guacamole, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired level of smoothness. Add lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro, then mix together. Season with salt to taste.
Assemble the burrito bowls by dividing the cooked brown rice among four bowls. Top each with the sautéed vegetable and bean mixture.
Add a generous scoop of guacamole to each bowl. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top.
Serve with a side of tortilla chips for added crunch, if desired.
