Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water and add it to a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, and diced red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the corn kernels, black beans, cherry tomatoes, salt, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to heat thoroughly.
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and fluff it with a fork. Divide the rice among 4 serving bowls.
Top each bowl of rice with the sautéed vegetable and bean mixture.
Drizzle the lime juice evenly over the top of each bowl and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Finish with slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese on each bowl before serving.
