Instructions

  1. In a rice cooker or on the stovetop, cook the brown rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork once done.
  2. In a high-powered blender, combine the shallot, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt. Blend for 60 seconds until very smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Fold the cilantro vinaigrette into the cooked brown rice, stirring until evenly coated.
  4. In a bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and let it sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  5. Divide the green rice among 4 bowls. Top with black beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, and cheese. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
  6. Eat immediately or store leftovers for easy meal prep throughout the week.

Notes

  • Not a fan of brown rice? Use white rice or riced cauliflower.
