There is nothing better than a meal that comes together quickly but still tastes like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen. These burrito bowls are a family favorite because everyone can customize their own toppings just the way they like them.

For the best results, make sure to fluff your rice with a fork before adding the cilantro and lime juice. It keeps the rice light and ensures every grain is perfectly coated in that zesty dressing.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup canned or frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the rice according to the package directions and set it aside to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine the corn with the diced red onion and half of the cilantro. Season with a little salt and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the black beans, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for about five minutes until the beans are heated through.

  4. 4

    Toss the cooked rice with the lime juice and the remaining cilantro.

  5. 5

    Divide the cilantro lime rice into bowls. Top each bowl with the seasoned black beans and the corn mixture.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately while the beans are still warm.

💡 Tips

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you want a little extra creaminess, add a scoop of avocado or sour cream right before serving.
