Directions
After cooking rice, draining rice and corn, and slicing veggies, make a quick pico de gallo by combining chopped tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and the juice from your lime. Stir in a dash of salt (don't go overboard!)
Blackened Veggies:
Preheat stove to medium-high heat
Lightly spray with non-stick spray.
Add bell peppers and onions.
Stir occasionally. Once browned, add drained corn.
Brown as long as you like; some of us like our veggies on the blackened side :-)
For the Beans:
After draining and rinsing beans, warm them up in a small pot on low heat.
Stir occasionally, while making Cilantro Rice.
For the Cilantro Rice:
Add jalapenos, garlic, cilantro and the juice of one lime to a food processor.
Pulse to combine.
Using a spatula, transfer to a large bowl, then fold in cooked rice.
For the Pico:
Add cut tomatoes, onion, cilantro and the juice from 1/2 lime to a small bowl. Stir everything together and allow to marinate for a few minutes.
Assemble the Bowl:
Place chopped romaine on the bottom.
Add Cilantro Rice.
Add Black Beans.
Add with Blackened Veggies.
Top with Pico and optional avocado
