Instructions

Make the black beans

  • Add all the ingredients to a pan over medium heat. Mix well. Add a tbsp or so water and mix in. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the beans are hot. Stir once in between. Taste and adjust salt and spice.

Roast the veggies

  • Heat a grill pan over medium high heat. Spray oil on the pan (optional). Place the veggies on the pan and cook both sides until most have brown edges or marks. You can also cook the veggies in a regular pan. Heat a tsp of oil over medium high heat, add veggies and cook until golden brown on most edges.

Make the guacamole.

  • Mash the avocado well, add the rest of the ingredient mix well. Taste and adjust salt and tang.

Pico de gallo

  • Mix everything, taste and adjust and keep asie, or use other salsa of choice like spicy salsa or tomatillo salsa.

Assemble

  • Assemble the bowl as you like with cooked grains, lettuce and helpings of the black beans, guacamole or just mashed avocado, roasted veggies and pico de gallo. Add a dash of salt, cayenne and lemon juice. I like to serve the bowl with warm beans and roasted veggies as the rest of the ingredients are cold. Or assemble all the fillings into a large tortilla and roll into a burrito.

Notes
