Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups dry uncooked brown rice *(or see notes below to substitute with long grain white rice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, NOT drained
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth (use low sodium broth if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional, for serving: shredded lettuce, grated cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, sour cream, fresh salsa or pico de gallo, avocado or guacamole

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the ingredients in a large skillet or pot.
  2. Bring to a boil; cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer (covered) for 45 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  3. Serve rice mixture in a bowl over lettuce, if desired. Garnish with toppings of choice.

Notes

  • *If you prefer to use white rice instead of brown rice, reduce the cooking time to 15-20 minutes.
  • Burrito Bowl Meal Prep: cook the rice and bean mixture in advance and keep it in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. This makes it quick and easy to assemble your burrito bowls any time you want them!
  • For a Beef Burrito Bowls recipe, try adding cooked ground beef taco meat to your bowl, along with the beans, rice and other toppings. You can also make Steak Burrito Bowls by adding grilled steak or Carne Asada to your bowl.
  • Chicken Burrito Bowls in the Slow Cooker: In addition to this rice and bean mixture, you can prepare my Mexican Chicken recipe in the Crock Pot and add the cooked chicken to your bowls.
  • Burrito Bowls in the Instant Pot: Use my Instant Pot Mexican Chicken recipe to create your own chicken burrito bowls at home!
