RICE AND BEAN BOWL DINNER
This dinner bowl recipe comes together in mere minutes and appeals to vegans and omnivores alike. To bring this meal together even faster, make the avocado-cilantro sauce earlier in the day. We like to keep the corn raw for extra crunch and a fresh flavor, but feel free to use cooked, frozen and thawed, or canned corn kernels, if that's what you prefer.

Tips:
- Soak the black beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a large pot to cook the beans, as they will double in size as they cook.
- Add salt to the beans only after they have cooked, as salt can toughen the beans.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch.
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the rice, as this will help prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Do not stir the rice too often while it is cooking, as this can make it mushy.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to separate the grains.
- To make the refried beans, mash the cooked beans with a potato masher or fork until they are smooth.
- Add the refried beans to a skillet with a little bit of oil and cook until they are heated through.
- Season the refried beans with salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.
- Serve the refried beans and rice with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
