Step 1

Cook the instant rice according to package directions (this usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on brand).

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, combine all ingredients for the Creamy Avocado Sauce, if using, in a small bowl and stir well to combine. Add additional yogurt, if needed, to reach your desired sauce consistency. Set aside.

Step 3

When the rice is done add the black beans, corn, and salsa to the same pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Take off the heat, add the bell peppers and cilantro.

Step 5

Serve with tortilla chips or over chopped Romaine lettuce with a drizzle of the Creamy Avocado Sauce.
