 Olive oil: 2 tsp

 Salt:1/2 tsp

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash the brown rice with clean water. In a medium saucepan add 3 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Add rice, salt, one tsp olive oil to the pan and cook for about 20 minutes. Brown rice takes a little longer to cook. Once it’s cooked, remove from the heat and transfer it to a bowl.
2.  Rinse the beans thoroughly. In a medium saucepan heat olive oil, gradually add beans, black pepper, garlic powder and salt to it. Saute for 2 minutes and keep it aside.
3. I normally cut the avocado in the middle all the way, then gently twist to make it half. Then with the help of a spoon remove the pit and slice.
4. Place the rice, black beans, avocado, tomato, onion on a serving plate, sprinkle lemon juice. Decorate with fresh cilantro n enjoy !
