Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beans

    In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Corn Salsa

    In a bowl, combine 1 cup of corn, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Proteins

    Choose your protein (grilled chicken, steak, barbacoa, sofritas, or carnitas). Grill or sauté the protein of your choice until cooked through. For chicken and steak, season with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a serving bowl, start with a base of 1 cup of cooked white rice. Add 1 cup of black beans on top of the rice.

  2. 6

    Add Proteins

    Add 1 cup of your chosen protein on top of the beans.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the bowl with 1 cup of corn salsa, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 cups of shredded lettuce, and finish it off with 1 cup of guacamole, 1 cup of sour cream, and pico de gallo. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste.
