VEGGIE MEXICANA BOWL

AUTHOR: JULIA TELLIDIS WEBSITE: WHOLESOMELYHUNGRY.COM.AU Time: 30min Serves: 2 This couldn’t be more basic, a perfect example of how uncomplicated but delicious healthy meals can be! This bowl ticks all my boxes of a well balanced meal: high in protein from the black beans, good quality carbs from your brown rice and corn and good fats from the avocado & olive oil, whilst also getting a good dose of veggies in. Ingredients: * serves 2 1/2 tin of black beans 1/2 cup corn (I used frozen organic) 1 capsicum Handful of tomatoes (I used cherry) 1 cup brown rice 1/2 red onion 1 medium avocado 1 lime 1/2 tsp Paprika 1/2 tsp Chilli Powder Method: Step 1: make your brown rice. Place in a bowl Step 2: Thaw your frozen corn on the pan with some olive oil and 1/4 tsp of paprika. Add it onto your brown rice Step 3: Cut up as small as you can the capsicum, tomatoes and 3/4 of your onion and season with salt, pepper & 1/4 squeeze of lime juice. Add it to your bowl Step 4: Drain and rinse the black beans, add to your bowl Step 5: Mash your avocado in a bowl, adding leftover onion, 1/4 tsp paprika and 1/4 juice of lime, salt and pepper. Drizzle with some olive oil for some extra good fats . Enjoy!
