Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) egg whites
  • ½ cup (120 g) cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup (90 g) cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh or jarred salsa with minimal added sugar
  • ½ medium avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup (30 g) diced red bell pepper
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
  • ½ tsp (1 g) ground cumin
  • ½ tsp (1 g) smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Small handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions, about 20 minutes. Can be done ahead of time.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced red bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
  3. Add rinsed black beans to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with half of the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Pour egg whites into the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low. Sprinkle remaining cumin and paprika over the top.
  5. Stir gently with a spatula, folding the egg whites to create soft curds, cooking for 4-5 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
  6. Assemble the bowl by layering cooked grain, sautéed veggies and beans, then top with fluffy egg whites.
  7. Spoon salsa over the top, add sliced avocado, and sprinkle with green onions and optional cilantro.
  8. Taste and adjust salt or spices as needed. Add hot sauce if desired.

Notes

Cook egg whites on low heat and stir gently to avoid rubbery texture. Season spices in two stages for balanced flavor. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days; reheat gently in skillet with splash of water. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
