Ingredients
  

1 cup brown rice or quinoa

2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 large avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)

1 cup salsa (your choice of mild or spicy)

1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Taco seasoning (1 packet or homemade)

Salt and pepper to taste

Tortilla chips (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Base: In a medium pan, combine the brown rice (or quinoa) and the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes (or according to package instructions) until the grain is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

    Prepare the Beans: In another saucepan, add the rinsed black beans and corn. Sprinkle taco seasoning over them and stir well. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

      Chop Fresh Ingredients: While the rice or quinoa and beans are cooking, chop the avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Set these aside in separate bowls for easy assembly.

        Salsa and Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with lime juice for a quick dressing. Optionally, add a pinch of salt or some chopped cilantro for extra flavor.

          Assemble the Bowls: Set up a taco bar by placing each element in separate bowls. Begin with a scoop of your base (rice or quinoa) in each bowl, then let everyone layer on their desired toppings including beans, corn, diced avocado, tomatoes, red onion, shredded lettuce, cheese, and salsa.

            Finish and Enjoy: Top with a drizzle of the lime sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips on the side for crunch if desired.
