Ingredients

  • Organic brown rice
  • 1 can of beans of your choice: we like fat-free refried beans, regular or spicy, black beans, pinto beans, refried black beans, etc. Make sure to drain and rinse your beans if you are using them whole from a can.
  • 1 can of sliced black olives
  • 1 can of whole kernel corn
  • Any greens you have on hand—we like kale, spinach or chard for our burrito bowls
  • Any chopped veggies you have on hand: cucumbers, celery, bell peppers, mushrooms, carrots, zucchini, squash, etc.
  • 1 container of pre-prepared guacamole. You could prepare your own but I never have time to do that.
  • Best.Salsa.Ever. This is a quick and delicious salsa made from fresh ingredients.
  • (Optional) Fat-free tortilla chips or strips. I have never found my own but will make them on occasion.
