Ingredients (serves 2)

200g of rice
200g of cherry tomatoes
Tortilla wrap
Tin of sweetcorn
Tin of black beans
1 lime
1 red onion
1 avocado
1 chilli
Vegan yoghurt
2 cloves of garlic
Coriander
Salt
Cumin
Salt
Chilli flakes
Olive oil

Method

  1. We can start by preparing the rice. Rinse your rice in cold water until the water runs clear, then add to a pan with 400ml of water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. When the water reaches boiling, cover with a lid and turn to low heat. Set a timer for 10 minutes. When the timer goes off, the water should be dry and the rice grains cooked. Remove from the heat and keep covered to steam cook for at least 10 minutes whilst you prep the rest of the meal.
  2. Put the black beans on medium heat and add cumin, salt and pepper (measure with the heart). Set aside.
  3. De-seed the chilli, peel 3 garlic cloves, halve the red onion and add to a frying pan with the tomatoes. When the tomatoes begin to blacken, remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  4. Smash the avocado in a small bowl and set aside.
  5. Finely chop the other half of the red onion, coriander and 1 clove of garlic and add to the avocado with lime zest, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  6. Heat olive oil in a pan and add the sweet corn with some chilli flakes. Cook for around 5 minutes.
  7. Preparing your salsa: Chop the chilli, garlic cloves, red onion and tomatoes you blackened earlier and pop in a bowl.
  8. Assemble the bowl with the rice, black beans, guacamole, sweetcorn and salsa.
  9. Top with vegan yoghurt, chopped coriander and a warmed-up tortilla wrap and enjoy!

I love making this meal because I can make a bigger batch and take it to work for lunch the next day and it ends up being a really cheap and tasty meal. You can also add any leftover veggies you have in the fridge!
