Mexican Black Bean Bowl


Description

A “bowl-type meal” is really just a hipster version of a buffet. You set out the ingredients and everyone helps themselves to their favourite toppings. If you have a variety of dietary considerations, it’s a great way to serve a meal as people can omit ingredients they don’t like.  


Ingredients

Scale

Base: 

Cooked Rice or Quinoa

Shredded Lepp’s lettuce

Bowl Options:

6 Lepp’s fresh sausages, preferably one with mild flavour

Black Beans

Frozen corn, thawed and drained

Diced Sweet Peppers

Sliced Jalapeno Peppers – raw. pickled or candied

Diced Tomatoes

Diced Avocado

Garnish:

Chopped Green Onion

Cilantro leaves

Your favorite salsa 

Lime wedges, for squeezing over everything

Southwest Drizzle Sauce:

½ cup mayo

½ cup sour cream to plain yogurt

1 Tbsp. Triple Smoke Texx-Mexx Seasoning 

1 Tbsp. lime juice

1 garlic clove, finely minced 

dash of salt and pepper, to taste

If you prefer a smoky sauce, mix all these ingredients and one or two chipotle chilis in a blender or food processor. A cheater drizzle sauce can also be made mixing equal parts of your favorite salsa with a combination of sour cream and mayo.

Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
