For the Bowl
- 4 servings baked tilapia, or steak bites, or chicken (Note 1)
- 3 cups cooked white rice (or lime cauliflower rice)
- 1 (15 ounce) can pinto or black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1/2 large red onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large avocado or 1 cup guacamole For Topping (Optional)
- taco sauce, sour cream, salsa, lime, and/or cilantro
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare and cook your protein of choice and set aside.
- Step 2: Cook or defrost your white rice (or cauliflower rice) according to package directions. Set aside.
- Step 3: Heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until softened but still with some bite. Only stir the pan every minute or two, so the vegetables can get some crispy browning on the sides. Stir in the drained beans in the last few minutes of cooking. Set aside.
- Serve: Build the burrito bowls with the warm rice, sautéed beans and vegetables, and cooked protein of choice. Top with avocado or guacamole and then any of your favorite fixings. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
