Also they customized it with my favourite toppings and it made it even better. So now it’s become my go-to meal on busy weeknights or as part of a meal prep.

Step Two: Cook the Rice
Drop the rice in the water, boil until done in the water and turn off stove.
When finished add some sourness with lime juice and cilantro.
Step Three: Cook the Beans
Place olive oil in a skillet and cook on medium heat. Cook the garlic until fragrantly.
Add beans, coriander and a little dash of salt and cover. Heat for around five minutes.
Step Four: Put Together the Bowl
Sprinkle rice with cubed lime and cut cilantro, and prepare a bed of rice.
Cook the beans and the protein, and then place them.
So some salsa, guacamole, grated cheese, and lettuce e.g. organic.
