Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups corn, frozen or fresh
  • 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups quick-cooking brown rice or cooked brown rice (I usually use Minute Ready to Serve Rice from the cups)*
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 cup salsa (jarred or homemade works)
  • Optional to garnish; fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and/or diced avocado or guacamole

Instruction

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add corn and black beans and cook until corn is tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add brown rice and chili powder and stir to combine. Cook; stirring constantly, about 3 minutes (less time if you're using already cooked rice). If using a boxed Minute Rice that requires water, add the water.
  • Stir in salsa and cook until everything is combined and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for 5 - 10 minutes, then garnish with cilantro, avocado and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired. Serve as a main meal or alongside tacos, enchiladas or fajitas. Also, wonderful as a vegan burrito filling.
