Bowl Ingredients:
1 8oz pouch Daring Cajun Pieces
2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
1/3 cup canned corn
1/3 cup no-salt-added black beans
1 medium avocado
1 cup spinach
¼ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
Chipotle Dressing Ingredients:
2 tsp adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (or less depending on level of spice you prefer)
1 cup unsweetened plain vegan yogurt
Juice of one lime
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Step 1
Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat for 1 minute, then reduce to medium heat. Drizzle pan with 1.5-2 tbsp cooking oil and sear the Daring Cajun Pieces for 2-3 minutes per side. They are done when they have a nice golden-brown color to them.
Step 2
Once Daring is done cooking, cut into bite-size pieces.
Step 3
Cook the rice or quinoa according to packaging instructions.
Step 4
For the dressing, place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. It should last up to 7 days refrigerated.
Step 5
If you are eating this dish immediately, heat the corn and black beans in a saucepan or in the microwave. If you are preparing this dish ahead of time, you can skip this step.
Step 6
Build your bowls: In 2 separate serving or storage dishes, add ½ cup spinach, then top with 1 cup of the cooked brown rice or quinoa, followed by the corn and beans, Daring pieces, and avocado.
