Ingredients
  

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups vegetable broth

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

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 avocado, diced

1 cup shredded lettuce

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or vegan alternative)

½ cup salsa (your favorite kind)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice and vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Prepare the Black Beans: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the rinsed black beans, frozen corn, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the fluffy rice as the base. Top with the black bean mixture, followed by diced avocado, shredded lettuce, and cheddar cheese.

        Add Toppings: Spoon a generous amount of salsa on top of each bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro for that extra zing. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

          Enjoy: Dig in while it's warm, mixing all the ingredients together for a burst of flavor in every bite!
