Homemade guacamole:

Instructions
Cilantro Lime Rice:
- Cook rice according to package directions. We usually sub water with vegetable broth, but up to you.
- When rice is finished cooking, add lime, cilantro and salt. Stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Spicy Black Beans:
- In a small pot, sauté onion in a bit of neutral oil until softened – about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking for a minute or two until garlic is softened and fragrant.
- Add tomato paste, cumin, paprika, salt and chili powder. Stir well, then add black beans. Let simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to blend mixture – we usually just pulse it a few times so there are still some larger pieces of black beans. If you'd prefer, you don't have to blend it at all.
Homemade guacamole:
- Add avocados to a large bowl. Mash well with the back of a fork, then stir in remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust as desired.
To serve:
- Fill bowl with rice, beans, guacamole, salsa and other desired toppings. Store guacamole separately if storing leftovers.
