Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked quinoa or rice
- 1 can Black beans
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 0.25 cup Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1 large Lime
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare a base of cooked quinoa or rice and set aside.
Drain and rinse the black beans. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and sauté the beans for 3-5 minutes with ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Wash and chop the cherry tomatoes into halves, dice the red onion, shred or chop the lettuce, and roughly chop the cilantro. If the corn is frozen or fresh, lightly cook it in the skillet for 2-3 minutes; if canned, drain well.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
Assemble the taco bowls by layering the quinoa or rice at the bottom. Add the seasoned beans on top, followed by the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn, red onion, and avocado slices.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top if desired. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for creaminess.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl for brightness and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Taco Bowl!
