Ingredients
Scale
1 lb mini sweet bell peppers, sliced (around 3 cups)
1 medium onion, diced
8 cloves garlic, finely diced
1.5 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 can black beans, drained
5 cups cooked white rice
Sour cream, for serving
Freshly grated colby jack cheese, for serving
Sliced avocado, for serving
Salsa, for serving
Instructions
Prepare the white rice according to package instructions, preferably using a rice cooker for convenience and even cooking. Set aside once cooked.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mini sweet bell peppers, diced onion, and finely diced garlic. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the peppers soften.
Stir in the drained black beans, lime juice, sea salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder into the skillet. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Continue cooking the vegetable and bean mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and flavors meld together.
Spoon the warm veggie and bean mixture evenly over the cooked white rice in serving bowls.
Garnish each bowl with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, freshly grated colby jack cheese, and salsa according to taste.
Serve the burrito bowls with tortilla chips on the side for extra crunch and enjoy!
