Bean & Cheese Burrito Bowl
4 servings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 15-ounce cans whole black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked rice, white or brown
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded

- 1/2 cup fresh tomato salsa
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup queso fresco, cotija cheese or other shredded cheese

Prepare: Cook rice according to package instructions.
While rice cooks, prepare beans: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the cumin and garlic powder and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the black beans and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and the mixture is flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes.
When rice is done, remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes, covered, before fluffing with a fork.
While rice and beans cook, lay out remaining burrito bowl toppings.
To build each bowl, place a portion of cooked rice at the bottom of a serving bowl. Top with black beans. Garnish with assorted topping — cabbage, lettuce, salsa, cilantro, queso fresco and sour cream.
FODZYME usage: Sprinkle FODZYME directly on the bowl, mix well and enjoy within 30 minutes if possible. Otherwise add an extra dose.
