1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 ½ cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen,

Instructions

Step 1: Cook Rice

Warm 1 Tbsp. oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Cook Veggies

Warm remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion and bell pepper to sauté until soft, about 2minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup water, beans, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a simmer and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Step 3: Plating

Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with bean mixture, corn, tomatoes, bell peppers and onions. Serve with garnishes and chips on the side, if desired.
