Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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).
- If using canned black beans, drain and rinse them under cold water. If using cooked black beans, simply drain them.
- 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.
- 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.
