Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, cumin and garlic.
- To a large bowl add brown rice, black beans, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno, corn, red onion and avocado.
- Pour lime mixture over ingredients rice mixture and toss to evenly coat while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- *It is now advised to cook frozen corn to 165 degrees due to possible bacteria. I cook in a little water in the microwave to heat through, then run under cold water and drain well to cool.
- **If you plan on leftovers I recommend only adding avocado to the portion you'll be serving so you don't end up with browned diced avocado in the rice.
