Method

1

Cook brown rice according to package directions (typically 1 cup rice to 2.5 cups water, simmered 45 minutes). Drain if needed and set aside.

2

Dice red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces; mince garlic.

3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Add diced red onion and bell pepper; sauté 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in zucchini and cook 2–3 minutes more.

5

Add black beans, cumin, and chili powder; stir well to coat. Cook 3–4 minutes until beans are warmed through and vegetables are tender-crisp.

6

Deglaze pan with lime juice, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Season with salt to taste.

7

Divide cooked rice evenly among serving bowls.

8

Top rice with the spiced bean and vegetable mixture.

9

Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a warm corn tortilla on the side.
