Ingredients:

1/4 cup wild rice
40g
3 cup lettuce
140g
2 tomatoes
120g
1 avocado
140g
2/3 cup sweet corn
110g
2 cups black beans
390g
2 cups salsa sauce
500g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Wild Rice:
- Rinse the wild rice under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil.
- Add the rinsed wild rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the rice cooks, chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the tomatoes and avocado.
- If using canned corn, drain and rinse it thoroughly. If using fresh or frozen corn, cook as desired (microwave or skillet until tender).
3. Prepare the Black Beans:
- If using canned black beans, drain and rinse them under cold water. If using cooked black beans, simply drain them.
4. Assemble the Burrito Bowl:
- Start by placing the cooked wild rice at the bottom of a large serving bowl or divide among individual bowls.
- Layer the chopped lettuce on top of the rice.
- Arrange the diced tomatoes, avocado, sweet corn, and black beans around the bowl on top of the lettuce.
- Generously pour the salsa sauce over the top of the bowl. You can also serve the salsa on the side for those who prefer to add it themselves.
5. Serve:
- Serve immediately. You can optionally add any additional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro to enhance the flavors.

Tips:

- Cook the wild rice according to the package instructions, as cooking times may vary.

- Rinse and drain the black beans and corn to remove any excess liquid and reduce sodium content for a fresher taste.

- For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro over the burrito bowl before serving.

- Dice the tomatoes and avocado just before serving to keep them fresh and prevent browning.

- Feel free to add other favorite toppings like shredded cheese, jalapeño slices, or a dollop of sour cream.

Indulge in every bite of this Wild Rice Burrito Bowl, knowing you are treating your body to a balanced and nutrient-rich meal. Ready in just a few simple steps, it's not only delicious but also quick and easy to prepare. Enjoy your homemade, hearty burrito bowl!
