Method
Prepare Base
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
Prepare Protein
Heat the Beans and Corn
In a small saucepan, drain and rinse 1 cup of black beans and 1 cup of corn. Add them to the saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare Vegetables
Chop Vegetables
While the rice and protein are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion and bell pepper, and cube the avocado. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Combine Ingredients
Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the mixing bowl with the chopped vegetables. Top with the heated black beans and corn. Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, and additional salt and pepper over the top.
