Rice and bean bowl

This very easy dish was inspired by a delicious meal that I had at Jaime's a few months ago. (Jaime, post on the blog!!) We had intended to make burritos but realized too late that we didn't have any tortillas, so we combined everything in a bowl and voila, had a quick and healthy dinner!

This the version I made for lunch today:

Brown rice
Pinto beans
Yam
Chipotle veganaise
Cilantro and avocado
Salt and pepper

Cube a sweet potato or yam into small chunks and saute in coconut oil for 10-12 minutes. (You could also roast it.) In a saucepan, heat a little olive oil and fry some onion and garlic until slightly browned; add pinto or black beans, a little cumin, and cook until heated. Add the rice into the pot to heat. Make a chipotle-mayo by adding a little adobo sauce (or a chopped chipotle) to some veganaise (or regs mayo). Combine it all in a bowl! Top with avocado, sprouts, cilantro, other veggies, etc.
