Ingredients

Servings: Makes six burrito bowls

Rice: 1 1/2 cup white rice, dry and uncooked

Chipotle Dressing:

  • 1/4 Cup yogurt
  • 1/4 Cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Lime juiced to taste
  • 1 Teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 Teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 Teaspoon abodo sauce (from a can of chipotle in adobo sauce) *You can substitute chipotle powder

Fajita Mixture:

  • 1/4 Cup avocado or olive oil
  • 2 Medium onions, sliced
  • 2 Medium red bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 Cup of corn, drained and rinsed if canned or thawed if frozen
  • 2 Cups of canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Teaspoon each of smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin and garlic powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon of salt, to taste

Optional Toppings: 1 Chopped lettuce, a squeeze of lime juice and chopped cilantro.

Directions

1. Prepare the rice in a saucepan or rice cooker according to package instructions.

2. Make chipotle dressing: mix yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, smoked paprika, chili powder and adobo sauce in a small bowl, adding water if needed to achieve desired consistency.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and pepper; cook while stirring occasionally until soft and tender, about seven to 10 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent vegetables from burning. Then add the black beans and corn, along with the seasonings; cook for an additional two to three minutes until corn is warmed through but still retains some crunch. Set aside.

4. Assemble your bowls: divide the cooked rice between six bowls or containers. Top rice with fajita mixture, and top with any toppings of choice. Drizzle the chipotle dressing right before serving. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days.
