A complete plant-based burrito bowl that delivers 20g protein without any meat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) black or pinto beans, rinsed
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice or brown rice
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Cumin, chili powder, salt to season beans

Directions

  1. Warm beans in a small saucepan with cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Prepare cauliflower rice (microwave or sauté 5 minutes) and season with lime.
  3. Build bowls: rice base, then beans, corn, salsa, tomatoes, and red onion.
  4. Arrange avocado slices on top. Squeeze lime generously.
  5. Top with cilantro.

Notes

Black beans + corn together create a nearly complete protein profile. Add Greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute for additional protein.
