Yields: 4 Bowls

WHAT YOU NEED

2 C Dry Brown Rice + Tajin Seasoning
2x 285g President's Choice Mexican Street Corn Salad Mix
540ml Salt-Free Black Beans, drained & rinsed
2 Tbsp. EVOO
340g Beyond Meat Beef
1 Yellow Onion, diced
3 Green Uns, sliced & separated light / dark portions
2 Jalapenos, seeded & diced
3 cloves Garlic, crushed & minced
1 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
1 Tsp. Mexican Chili Powder
2 Tsp. Tex Mex Seasoning
1/2 Tsp. Chipotle Powder
1 Tsp. Cumin
Himalayan Salt
GARNISHES - Pickled Onions, Sliced Green Onions, Fresh Cilantro, Crumbled Feta, Cilantro Lime Sauce, Tajin

Cook your brown rice according to package directions. Once completed, season with Tajin to taste, cover, and set aside.
In the meantime, begin heating the EVOO & garlic in a skillet set to just below medium heat. Once heated, let the garlic sizzle for about 30 seconds before stirring in the Mexican Chili, cumin, chipotle, and one tsp. of the Tex-Mex seasoning. Stir often for another 30 seconds or so to let the spices bloom.
Add the onion, light portions of the green onions, jalapeno, and a good pinch of salt. Stir to coat in the spices and let the veggies cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drop in the plant-based beef and break it down in to smaller crumbles as it browns up. Add the remaining Tex-Mex seasoning & tomato paste, stir, and continue to cook until the Beyond beef is cooked through. Season with salt, taste, and adjust seasoning if desired.

Toss together the Pres. Choice salad mixes in a medium sized mixing bowl and set aside.
For service, serve up your brown rice in a shallow bowl. Pile some of the salad on one side of the bowl and on the opposite side, some of the Beyond Meat mix. Building in a circular pattern, add some black beans, pickled onions, crumbled feta, and finish the bowl with a drizzle of store-bought cilantro lime sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro, Tajin, and green onions.
ENJOY!
