Instructions
- In a rice cooker or on the stovetop, cook the brown rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork once done.
- 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.
- Fold the cilantro vinaigrette into the cooked brown rice, stirring until evenly coated.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
