Step 1

Cook the rice, according to How to Cook Rice. (Or try Cilantro Lime Rice!)

Step 2

Mince the garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant but not yet browned. Add the beans (drained but not rinsed), cumin, kosher salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Cook 2 minutes until warmed through. Taste and add additional salt if desired.

Step 3

Make the sauce (see above).

Step 4

Slice the tomatoes in half. Slice the avocado. Defrost the corn. Thinly slice the red onion.

Step 5

To serve, place rice in the bowl and top with black beans and vegetables. Drizzle with the sauce and top with torn cilantro.
