Method
Fajita Seasoning
- Prepare the seasoning – it should make just enough for the recipe. Feel free to 4x the recipe to have some on hand.
Cilantro Lime Rice
- In a medium pot, begin by dry toasting the rice over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Don’t let it burn! It will appear “whiter” as it toasts. Add hot water according to package instructions and ¾ tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.
- Once the rice is ready, add the lime juice and cilantro. Stir, then set aside to serve.
Black Bean Fajita Mix
- Meanwhile, begin thinly slicing your onions and bell peppers. Rinse and set aside your black beans.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tsp vegetable oil. Once its hot, add the onions, bell pepper, and 2 tsp of the fajita seasoning. Cook until they begin to brown and wilt, about 5 minutes. Add the black beans, water, and remaining seasoning. Cook until the water reduces and the mixture thickens (5 – 7 minutes).
Guacamole
- While the vegetables cook, make the guacamole. First add the avocado flesh, onion, tomatoes, peppers, lime juice, and salt to a medium-large bowl. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the ingredients together until they are incorporated and to the texture of your liking. Set aside to serve.
Assembly
- To prepare the burrito bowl, add ¾ cup cooked rice to your bowl, ¾ cup bean vegetable mix, and ¼ cup guacamole. Stir and enjoy!
