Method

Cooking Grains

1

Cook the Brown Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of organic brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

2

Cook the Quinoa

In another saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed.

Preparing Vegetables

3

Steam the Kale

While the grains are cooking, steam 2 cups of kale until wilted and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

4

Prepare Corn

If using frozen corn, thaw it in a microwave or under running warm water. If using fresh corn, cook it in boiling water for 3-5 minutes until tender. Set aside.

Making the Dressing

5

Mix the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder, and 1 teaspoon of honey or agave syrup. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembling the Bowl

6

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, layer the cooked brown rice, cooked quinoa, steamed kale, corn, and black beans. Top with fresh salsa and diced avocado.

7

Drizzle the Dressing

Drizzle the spicy chipotle lime dressing over the assembled bowl and toss gently to combine.
