Ingredients

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 large lime, juiced
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 large avocado, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced red onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced red bell pepper and corn kernels to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the black beans, chipotle peppers, and cumin powder. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Add lime juice, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Stir to integrate the flavors and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Scoop the chipotle rice mixture into bowls, and top each serving with sliced avocado.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Chipotle Rice Bowl!
