Ingredients
  

1 cup brown rice (uncooked)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (choose fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup freshly chopped cilantro

Juice of 1 lime

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Mini tortilla chips (for garnish)

Optional: Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the brown rice, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. After cooking, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, still covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, fluff the rice with a fork.

    Prepare the Bean and Corn Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, corn, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the ingredients gently to ensure everything is well combined.

      Assemble the Bowls: Using small serving dishes or bowls, start by placing a generous scoop of the fluffy brown rice at the bottom of each bowl. Follow with a hearty layer of the flavorful bean and corn mixture on top.

        Add Toppings: Next, carefully layer the diced avocado and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese over the bean mixture. Top it off with a handful of freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of color and flavor.

          Serve with a Crunch: For an enjoyable texture, finish each mini burrito bowl with a handful of mini tortilla chips as a crunchy garnish. If you’d like, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy touch.

            Enjoy: Serve the mini burrito bowls immediately while fresh. Alternatively, prepare the individual components ahead of time and assemble just before serving to maintain maximum freshness!
