    Ingredients

    • 1 cup brown rice

    • 15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed

    • 2 tbsp olive oil

    • 1 tsp ground cumin

    • 1 tsp chili powder

    • 2 bell peppers, chopped

    • 1 cup corn kernels

    • 1 cup salsa

    • 1 avocado, sliced

    • 4 lime wedges

    • 1 cup chopped cilantro

    Directions

    • Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. This should take around 20 minutes, using a saucepan over medium heat.
    • While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and sauté until they start to soften.
    • Add black beans, cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture is heated through.
    • In another pan, add corn and sauté for 3 minutes until lightly charred. Set the corn aside for later use.
    • Assemble each burrito bowl by placing a portion of rice at the bottom, followed by the bean and pepper mix.
    • Top the bowl with salsa, corn, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge on the side.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Cantonese BBQ Brisket Is Back at Panda Express After Selling Out Earlier This Summer

    Pairing a high-protein entrée with the right sides can help round out a more balanced meal. Consider choosing a vegetable-based side like mixed veggies instead of fried rice or chow mein to add fiber without extra refined carbs, and opting for a bowl over a plate if you’re looking to manage overall portion size while still getting the full protein benefit of the entrée.

    Wendy’s Halloween Kids’ Meal Is Back — And Adults Are Ordering It Too

    Kids’ meals are portioned smaller than adult entrées, which can actually make them a reasonable option for a lighter meal or a snack-sized treat. To keep things balanced, consider pairing the meal with a side of apple bites instead of fries, choosing a lower-sugar beverage like milk or water over a fountain drink, and treating the Frosty as a dessert to enjoy on its own rather than adding it on top of a larger meal.

    Popeyes’ $6 Big Box Deal Is Back for a Limited Time

    A combo that includes fried chicken, two sides, and a biscuit can add up quickly in sodium and fat, especially depending on which sides you choose. To lighten the meal, consider swapping a fried side like fries for a lighter option such as green beans or coleslaw if available, and pairing the meal with water instead of a sweetened lemonade or tea to help cut back on added sugar.
