Description
Delicious and customizable burrito bowls made with rice, beans, and assorted toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 1½ cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- 1 cup canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- ½ cup salsa
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups mixed greens (or shredded lettuce)
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 ripe avocado (chopped)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes (or pico de gallo)
- Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- Lime wedges (for squeezing over top)
- Sour cream (or Greek yogurt (optional))
Instructions
- Add rice, broth, beans, salsa, cumin, and garlic powder to the rice cooker. Stir gently to combine — it should look a little saucy, and that’s exactly right.
- Close the lid and start the cook cycle. As it cooks, the rice absorbs all that flavor while the salsa and spices come together beautifully.
- When it switches to Warm, leave the lid closed for about 10 minutes so the rice can finish steaming.
- Fluff with a fork to mix everything together — the beans spread, the salsa blends in, and the rice turns soft and lightly coated.
- Scoop into bowls and build your burrito bowls like a salad bar: start with greens, add the rice mixture, layer on protein, and finish with toppings like cheese, avocado, lime, or sour cream.
- Serve warm and let everyone customize their own bowl.
Notes
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep and can be customized with your favorite toppings.
- Feel free to substitute with different proteins or vegetables based on your preference.
