Ingredients

  • 2 cups fully cooked rice
  • 14.5 ounces black beans
  • 2 cups roasted sweet potato
  • 2 cups sweet corn (warmed from frozen)
  • Toppings such as shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado, and guacamole (optional, as desired)

Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients as needed. You can make the rice and roasted sweet potato ahead of time, if desired.
  • If using canned beans, rinse and drain them in a colander in the sink.
  • Warm the rice and the beans.
  • Place everything, including the toppings, onto the table and let everyone assemble their bowls, helping the littler kids as needed.

Notes

  • Slow Cooker Beans: Place 1 pound dry beans into a slow cooker. Add 6 cups water. Cook on LOW for 8 hours or until soft.
  • You can make dry beans in the instant pot by following this recipe for Instant Pot Pinto Beans.
  • You can make all of the components of this up to 3 days ahead and store in airtight containers in the fridge. Store any leftovers in airtight containers for 3-5 days.
  • You can use store-bought precooked rice to simplify things.
  • Try canned or cooked dry beans such as black beans or pinto beans
  • Try veggies such as roasted sweet potato, zucchini or asparagus, or warmed frozen corn.
  • I like to have fruit on the table for most meals to ensure the kids see a food they immediately like.
  • Try toppings such as shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado, and guacamole on our burrito bowls, but you can really top with any taco toppings you prefer.
