Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 avocado, diced
  • 1/3 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1 lime wedge

Instructions:

  1. Warm the rice and black beans separately or together until hot. Season the beans with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and a small amount of salt.
  2. Sauté the bell pepper for 2 to 3 minutes if you prefer it warm, or leave it raw for crunch.
  3. Place the rice in a bowl and arrange beans, peppers, tomatoes, and avocado over the top.
  4. Squeeze lime over everything and finish with black pepper and another tiny pinch of salt only if needed.

Optional: Add a spoonful of green chile sauce.
