Description
This vegan, gluten free Chipotle Spice Power Bowl with Rice calls upon a nutritious foundation of zesty rice, then builds upon it with yummy toppings, such as greens, black beans, corn, avocados, pumpkin seeds, and tomatoes.
Chipotle Spice Rice:
Toppings:
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed, drained
- 1 cup frozen sweet corn, thawed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small avocado, sliced into 8 slices
- 1 bell pepper (orange, yellow, red, or green), thinly sliced
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup vegan ranch dressing (make your own vegan dressing here)
To make Chipotle Tomato Rice:
- Place olive oil in a medium pot and heat.
- Sauté onion and garlic in oil for 7 minutes.
- Add brown rice and toast it for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Add crushed tomatoes, water, bullion cube, chipotle seasoning, and salt (optional).
- Stir well, cover with a lid, and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat about 1 hour, until liquid is absorbed and grains are tender. May add additional water to replace water lost to evaporation as needed.
To make Power Bowls:
