Ingredients:

  • 1 avocado
  • ½ cup of basmati rice
  • ½ (15 oz) can of black beans
  • ½ small bunch of cilantro
  • 1 ear of corn
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • ½ lime
  • ½ lb tilapia fillet
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  •  black pepper
  •  chili powder
  •  cumin
  •  salt
  •  virgin coconut oil

Instructions:

1. Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then drain and transfer to a small saucepan. Season the rice with salt and add water; bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

  • ½ cup basmati rice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 8 fl oz (1 cup) water

3. Once the liquid comes to a boil, stir the mixture, cover the saucepan, and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice until the liquid is fully absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Once done, remove the rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

  • about 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil

8. Return skillet to stove. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 15-30 seconds. Add bell pepper and corn and, stirring occasionally, cook until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes.

9. Drain and rinse black beans. Add to skillet and stir until heated through, about 1 minute.

  • ½ (15 oz) can of black beans

10. Wash and dry cilantro. Shave leaves off the stems; discard the stems and mince the leaves. Halve and pit avocado; scoop out and medium dice.

  • ½ small bunch cilantro
  • 1 avocado

11. Uncover the rice and fluff with a fork.
