2: Sauté 1/2 small diced onion until translucent.
3: Add 1 can of rinsed and drained black beans, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, salt, and pepper to the onion.
4: Pour in another 1 cup of broth and simmer, stirring for 15 minutes.
5: Sauté chopped red bell pepper and broccoli florets in EVOO with salt and pepper. Optionally add 2 handfuls of spinach at the end.
6: For the stir fry, heat the rice, beans, and veggies in a frying pan, drizzling with coconut aminos or tamari/soy sauce and hot sauce.
7: For the burrito bowl, serve rice and beans with sautéed veggies, avocado, and a drizzle of salsa verde.
