Instructions
- Prepare Rice: Cook rice according to the package instructions until fluffy and fully cooked. Set aside.

- Serve: Serve with toasted tortillas on the side or sprinkle crumbled tortillas on top for added crunch.
Notes
- Use canned black beans and corn for convenience, just be sure to drain and rinse them well before use.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder and cumin to suit your spice preference.
- Creamy chipotle sauce can be store-bought or made at home by blending chipotle peppers in adobo with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
- For extra protein, add grilled chicken or tofu to the bowl.
- Rice can be substituted with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
