Ingredients
For the Rice:2 cups Long grain brown rice1/4 cup cilantroJuice of 2 1/2 LimesFor the Corn salsa:1 Can Corn, No Salt Added1 cup of your favorite store brand salsa1/4 cup cilantroFor the Guacamole:2 fresh avacados, seeds and skin removedJuice of 1 1/2 lemonsJuice of 1/2 limeGarlic Powder 1.5 Tbsp (alternately use 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced)Chili Powder 1 TbspAdditional toppings:1 Can Black Beans, rinsed and drained1 cup shredded iceburg lettuce
First, measure the water and rice, and get that cooking, as it takes the longest, following the directions on the bag.
Next, chop the cilantro. Reserve 1/4 cup to mix with rice when it is ready. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup with the salsa. Drain the Can of Corn and add this to the salsa. Stir together. Add Garlic powder to taste.
Next, you want to make the guacamole. Cut the avacados in half, removing the seed, and scoop into a small mixing bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice and lime juice into the bowl. Add the garlic powder and chili powder. Mash together with a spoon to create desired consistency; if too thick, add more lemon juice.
Next, chop the iceburg lettuce.
Next, drain and rinse the black beans, placing them into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 min 30 sec.
By this time, the rice should be just about done. Remove rice from heat and fluff with fork. Stir in the reserved cilantro along with the juice of 2 1/2 limes.
You are ready to serve! We use a 1/2 cup measure to layer the rice, and then the beans, and then add 2 Tbsp corn salsa, 1 tbsp guacamole, and 1/4 cup shredded lettuce.
Makes 6 healthy and satisfying servings.
PS. Since I am the only one in my family whose goal is weight loss, I do not add anything else, and I find this to be delicious and satisfying. My fiancee is trying to gain to reach a healty weight, and he likes to add shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream to his bowl, so this is an option for the non calorie conscious among us, but this is NOT included in the nutritional breakdown for the meal.
