- Sauce: Make either Cilantro Lime Crema or Chipotle Mayo (both are vegan adaptable)
Instructions

- Top with optional sofritas and divide the fresh veggies.
- Garnish with any of the optional garnishes and drizzle with one of the sauces.
Notes
Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days- this way you can eaisly create a bowl whenever you need it!
One-Pot Rice and Beans: Add 1 cup rinsed white rice to a medium pot, with the recommended amount of water on the package. Then stir in ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon chile powder (or smoked paprika) , ½ teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and a 14-ounce can of drained black beans. Give a good stir, and bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat to medium low, and simmer until rice is cooked and water is evaporated—fluff with a fork. Rice and beans can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to four days or frozen and reheated.
