2 spicy black bean patties (I used Chipotle Black Bean burgers from Aldis, but you can make your own..Here's a recipe)
1 cup rice
½ cup prepared salsa
2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
1 can beans, black or pinto, rinsed and drained
½ cup corn
1 large tomato, chopped
¼ cup onion, chopped
½ Serrano chili, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
½ cup guacamole (I use one medium avocado, mashed with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt.)
1 cup lettuce of your choice
Salt/pepper to taste
Optional: Extra salsa, hot sauce, or vegan cheese on the.side.
Instructions
Prepare the rice by replacing ½ cup of the water with ½ cup of prepared salsa.
While the rice is cooking, chop your tomato, cilantro, onion, and chili. Place in a bowl and set aside, reserving about a tablespoon onion and a teaspoon chili.
In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the reserved onion and chili and cook for a couple minutes until the onion is starting to get soft.
Add the beans and about a cup of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.
When the rice is almost done, heat the other tablespoon oil in a frying pan and cook the black bean patties until brown on both sides.
When everything is cooked and hot build your spicy burrito bowl:
Place the patties at the bottom of a large bowl.
Spoon the beans evenly over the patties.
Add about a ½ cup rice to each bowl.
Add half of the corn to each bowl.
Add the fresh salsa, half to each bowl
Place a ring of lettuce around the bowl
Spoon the guacamole on top
Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or vegan cheese if you like.
