About the Recipe
The fortune is in the follow up, and so is lunch. This bowl turns a cup of microwave brown rice and a few grab and go basics into a full meal: rice, black beans, rotisserie chicken, salsa, and avocado. One bowl, a couple of minutes, zero excuses.
Ingredients
1 microwavable cup of brown rice (about 1 cup cooked)
1/3 cup low sodium black beans, rinsed
1/2 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
2 tbsp salsa
1/4 avocado, sliced
Lime wedge
Fresh cilantro (optional)
Preparation
Microwave the rice cup according to the package, usually 60 to 90 seconds.
In a microwave safe bowl, cover the beans and chicken and microwave about 60 seconds until steaming hot.
Add the rice to the bowl.
Top with salsa, avocado, a squeeze of lime, and cilantro.
Microwaves vary. Start with the shorter time and add 15 second bursts as needed.
