Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown rice or quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 2 bell peppers bell peppers preferably different colors, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado ripe avocado sliced
  • 1 cup fresh pico de gallo or salsa
  • 2 tablespoons tahini or vegan sour cream optional drizzle
  • 1 lime lime quartered for squeezing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Equipment

  • Cooking pot
  • Baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Bring water or vegetable broth to a boil in a medium pot, then add rinsed grains. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender and fluffy, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sliced bell peppers and sweet corn with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, until slightly charred and fragrant.
  3. While the vegetables roast, drain and rinse the black beans. Slice the ripe avocado into thin wedges and prepare pico de gallo or salsa in a bowl.
  4. Once the roasted vegetables are ready, assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked grains as the base. Layer the roasted peppers, corn, black beans, and sliced avocado on top.
  5. Add a generous spoonful of pico de gallo or salsa over each bowl for bright, tangy flavor. Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything for a zesty finish.
  6. If desired, drizzle tahini or vegan sour cream over the bowls for added creaminess. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant, textured flavors.
