Instructions
- Add all the rice ingredients to a saucepan and cook the rice according to package instructions.
- While that's cooking, chop the ingredients for the Avocado Corn Salsa and add to a bowl. Add a pinch of paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and mix it all together.
- Add the Chimmichurri Sauce ingredients to a blender or use an immersion blender and pulse a few times to mix to combine. It should be smooth but not totally pulverized, try to leave a bit of texture to it.
- Once the rice is cooked, divide it between 4 bowls. Divide the Avocado Corn Salsa between each serving, adding a scoop of black beans and the Chimmichurri Sauce.
