Add the rinsed and drained black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Pour in the vegetable broth or water and bring to a simmer.

Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and the flavors have melded. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble the bowls, divide the warm brown rice among four serving bowls. Top each with a generous scoop of the black bean and corn mixture.

Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over, adding a bright burst of citrus!
Pro Tips
This recipe packs 19g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
High in fiber at 17g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Toast your spices in a dry pan for 30 seconds before using to bring out deeper, smokier flavors.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
