Rice, Black Bean and Avocado Bowl

Clock

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dry jasmine brown rice
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 Tbsp salt-free chili powder
  • 1¼ tsp salt
  • 2 (15-oz) cans low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tsp salt-free chili powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup prepared yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp salt-free chili powder
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 avocado chopped
  • 1 cup tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice with cold water for about 1 minute.
  2. Combine the rice, tomato sauce, 1 Tbsp chili powder, salt, and 4 cups water in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
  3. Once boiling, immediately turn it to the lowest heat, cover and cook for 35 to 40 minutes until tender and all the liquid is gone.
  4. Remove from the heat, cover and steam for just 5 minutes (set your timer). Fluff with a fork and leave the lid off.
  5. When the rice is almost done cooking, prepare the beans by combining the beans, 2 tsp chili powder and salt; heat either over the stove or microwave until warm.
  6. Combine mustard, maple syrup, chili powder, and 2 Tbsp water in small bowl and whisk well until smooth. It will thicken best using a whisk. Add additional water for desired consistency.
  7. Assemble into serving bowls, layering with the rice, beans, avocado and tomatoes. Drizzle with lots of sweet chili mustard sauce and toss to coat everything.
