Step 1
Warm up some coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the frozen bell peppers and corn, then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Give everything a good stir and cook until it’s heated through, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 2
Once that’s ready, scoop some refried beans, brown rice, and the pepper-corn mix into two bowls, dividing everything evenly. Finish each bowl off with a couple of spoonfuls of guacamole right on top. Enjoy!
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve with a dollop of creamy avocado or a squeeze of fresh lime to brighten the flavors. A side of salsa or a drizzle of tangy yogurt sauce can add an extra layer of taste. Pair with warm tortillas to turn it into a fun, interactive meal.
Proper Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep any dressings or sauces separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to keep everything moist.
