Vegan Veggie Burrito Bowl


This recipe is 100% a rip off of my favorite dish at a chain restaurant.  Hopefully it's a bit healthier, since it's just 1 cup avocado instead of  a big spoonful of guacamole, put on by someone else.  (Okay I admit, I love the big spoonful of guac, served up by someone else, thereby relieving me of any personal responsibility!) 
1/2 cup onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cup brown or black rice 
1/2 cup canned or cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup canned or cooked pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp. salsa 
1/2 cup ripe avocado, mashed
Saute onions and peppers in cooking spray over medium heat until they are tender.  Add beans, corn, rice and heat through.  Top with salsa and avocado when ready to eat.
**If the veggies and rice are made in advance, then the recipe can be microwaved and the salsa and avocado put on top when ready to serve.
