Instructions

If using fresh corn, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the cob of corn for 20 minutes. Once it's out of the oven and cooled, cut the corn from the cob.

While the corn bakes, cook the rice according to directions. I cook mine in a rice cooker.

When the rice and corn only have 10 minutes left, begin sautéing the veggies. In a skillet, combine the oil, peppers, and onion. Saute for 5 minutes and then stir in the spices. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. If/ when the pan gets a little dry, you can add in more oil OR simply add in a bit of water (about 1 tablespoon at a time).

Once done, mix into the rice the cilantro, lime juice and zest, and a pinch of salt if desired (can also add a bit more salt). Stir until fully combined.

Assemble the bowls by first dividing the rice among 4 bowls (for 2 people, this makes a great dinner with leftovers for lunch!), top with the veggies then the black beans and then sprinkle on the corn and other toppings.

ENJOY!!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Spices First 🔥
Bloom the paprika, cumin, and oregano in oil for 30 seconds before adding vegetables to unlock deeper, more authentic chipotle-inspired flavors that mimic Chipotle's signature taste.
Char Your Peppers and Onions 🌶️
Cook diced bell peppers and red onions on high heat until they develop dark caramelized edges, creating complex depth that elevates the entire bowl beyond basic vegetable medleys.
Lime Juice at Two Stages ⏰
Add half the lime juice to your warm rice immediately after cooking for subtle flavor integration, then squeeze fresh lime over the finished bowl for bright, zesty contrast at the end.
Black Bean Seasoning Secret 🫘
Season your black beans separately with garlic powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt rather than mixing plain beans into the bowl—this ensures flavorful beans that don't get diluted by other components.
Build Your Bowl with Temperature Contrast 🌡️
Layer warm rice and beans with fresh cold lettuce and cilantro to create textural and temperature contrasts that make each bite more interesting and appetizing, just like restaurant versions.
