Celebrate the end of the week with a quick dinner Friday night! Tonight, while you are surfing Facebook, cook some brown rice. When you prepare the rice ahead of time, dinner can be ready in just a few minutes!*
Prepare dinner in a flash!
Mexican Fiesta Bowl
Combine in a large glass bowl:
1 can black beans, drained (or 1 cup of cooked beans from dried beans ~ directions here)
1 cup salsa or diced tomatoes and chilis
1 avocado, cut in chunks
1 cup frozen corn
2-3 cups cooked brown rice (Click here for benefits!)
Fresh cilantro chopped and lime juice, for extra awesomeness!
Stir it all up, pop in the microwave for a few minutes, and viola! Dinner is done!
For a slow cooker variation, you can put everything except the avocado in a slow cooker, along with lots of water, in the morning. End up with a lovely "tortilla soup" at the end of the day! Top with avocado slices, adding tastiness and nutrition!
The unlikely event of leftovers!

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Tell me in a comment below: do you ever "cook" in the microwave? Besides just warming things up, what do you make?

Thanks, Melissa! Did you get to try it?
Have not been able to try this yet. I think I will soon because I have cilantro that needs to be used up.
