Instructions

Cook rice: Rinse and cook rice according to package instructions. (White rice generally takes about 10-15 minutes to cook, while brown rice takes 30-45 minutes.)
Make sauce: While your rice cooks, prepare the Creamy Chipotle Sauce. (Or you can make this ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready.)
Prepare veggies: Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the romaine, dice the avocado, and chop the cilantro (if using).
Make salsa rice: When your rice has finished cooking, add 1/2 cup salsa to the pot. Stir to combine to create a flavorful "salsa rice". (You can also add fresh lime juice, cilantro, or even more salsa if desired.)
Assemble your bowl: Spoon some salsa rice in your bowl. Then add black beans (rinsed and drained), sweet corn, and vegetables. Drizzle creamy chipotle sauce (or other sauce) on top.

Notes

Make it spicy: The chipotle sauce adds some smoky spice, but for even more heat add spicy salsa, hot sauce, jalapeños, pickled jalapeños, etc.
Make it meaty: Add Chickpea-Walnut Taco Crumbles or your favorite vegan beef crumbles. You can also swap the black beans with pinto beans or kidney beans.
Sauces: Include other sauces for serving such as more salsa, pico de gallo, vegan cheese sauce, cashew queso, guacamole, etc.
Oil-free option: This recipe is refined oil-free except for a very tiny amount in the homemade chipotle sauce (which comes from the canned chipotles in adobo). If you need a completely oil-free option, simply use a different sauce that suits your diet.
