Costa Rican Breakfast Bowl
- 1/2 yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
- 1/2 bunch kale, stems removed and discarded, leaves shredded (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups cooked short- or long-grain brown rice
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- Sea salt
- 1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Combine the onion, bell pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and jalapeno (if youre using it) in a large saute pan. Add 1/2 cup water and saute the vegetables over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until they are tender, stirring occasionally and adding 1 to 2 more tablespoons water as needed to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan. Add the kale, rice, beans, and 1 cup water and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, folding the ingredients, until the kale has wilted and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Add half of the cilantro and salt to taste and stir to combine. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve with diced avocado on top and a lime wedge.
