Method

Preparation of Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Preparation of Black Beans

  1. 2

    Heat the Black Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of black beans over medium heat. Stir occasionally until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

Cooking Proteins

  1. 3

    Grill the Protein

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season your choice of protein (steak, chicken, shrimp, etc.) with salt, pepper, and your preferred spices. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through, depending on the protein chosen.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a large bowl, start with a base of cooked rice. Top with heated black beans, your choice of grilled protein, and then add guacamole, sour cream, and cheese evenly on top.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled bowl immediately while warm and enjoy!
