Instructions

Cook rice according to package instructions; Once cooked, fluff with a fork and add the lime juice and cilantro, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, cook the corn and then the beans.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet, then add the bell pepper. Sprinkle with chipotle seasoning, then sauté for 2 minutes before adding in the onion and cooking for 2 more minutes until they're both soft.
To assemble: divide the rice into 2 bowl, then top with peppers/onion mixture, corn and beans. Top the bowl with avocado, cilantro and your favorite salsa/dairy-free yogurt or sour cream or the chipotle aioli. Enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are per serving and are an estimation

*Prepping ahead: If you want to make this in advance, simply prep all of the ingredients (rice, corn, beans, peppers and onion) and place them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Then, before you're ready to eat, add the toppings (avocado, salsa, yogurt, aioli).

*Topping: I opted to use my chipotle aioli as a drizzle, but my guacamole salsa would also be delicious. Or, simply use a combination of salsa and dairy-free yogurt/sour cream!
