Start by cooking the brown rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Add the chopped red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the drained and rinsed black beans, along with 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix everything well and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
Prepare the fresh toppings: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and chop the cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges for serving.
To assemble the naked burrito, start by placing 0.5 cup of cooked brown rice in each bowl.
Layer with sautéed bean and vegetable mixture over the rice.
Add a layer of shredded lettuce and then top with the fresh cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Finish each bowl with a squeeze of lime and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, ensuring each serving gets a wedge of lime for that extra zing.
