Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beans

    Heat the black beans in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook your choice of meat until fully cooked. For chicken, beef, or pork, this usually takes about 7-10 minutes. For tofu, sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    Combine diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make pico de gallo.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Burrito or Bowl

    For a burrito, place a large tortilla on a flat surface. Layer rice, beans, cooked meat, pico de gallo, and lettuce. Optionally add sour cream, cheese, and guacamole. Roll tightly and slice in half. For a burrito bowl, layer the same ingredients in a bowl without the tortilla.
