Instructions

Cook the rice

  • Start by making the rice as per the directions on the rice package, since every type of rice is different. I love cooking my rice in a rice cooker.
    2 cups white rice, 3½ cups water
  • Once the rice is cooked, add in the salt, fresh cilantro and lime juice and stir.
    ½ lime- juiced, ¼ cup freshly chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt

Cook the fajita vegetables

  • Chop up all the veggies. Get a saute pan hot on medium heat and add the oil. Add in the vegetables and taco seasoning. Cook until peppers are tender and mushrooms are sauted.
    2 bell peppers, ½ red onion, 8 ounces white button mushrooms, 2 teaspoons oil, 2 teaspoons taco seasoning

Make the pico de gallo

  • Chop up the cherry tomatoes and onions. Add the lime juice, cilantro, salt and warmed up frozen corn. Stir well.
    1 pint cherry tomatoes, ½ red onion, ¼ cup freshly chopped cilantro, 1 lime - juiced, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup frozen corn

Make the guacamole

  • Scoop out the avocados into a bowl. Add the lime juice and salt. Store it in a glass container with a lid and add the avocado pits in with it to prevent the guacamole from getting brown.
    2 avocados, ½ lime - juiced, ½ teaspoon salt

Put it all together

  • Warm up the beans in a microwave or on the stove. Assemble your bowl with the rice, vegetables, beans, pico de gallo and guacamole. Add some chopped romaine lettuce and dairy free sour cream
    2 cans black or pinto beans, Romaine lettuce, Dairy free sour cream
