Craving Mexican flavors but want to keep things light and nutritious? This Eat Regal Black Bean Taco Salad is the answer. It’s a vibrant, colorful, and satisfying dish that proves healthy eating never has to be boring.
The foundation of this salad is our Eat Regal Whole Grain Brown Rice. While traditional brown rice takes 40 minutes to cook, our ready-to-eat pouches give you that chewy, nutty texture and 100% whole-grain goodness in just 90 seconds. It’s the easiest way to add essential fiber and 8g of plant-based protein to your bowl.
Ingredients
2 pouches Eat Regal Whole Grain Brown Rice
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
1/2 cup Your favorite salsa (mild or spicy)
1/4 cup Red onion, finely diced
Optional: Sliced jalapeños, avocado, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Instructions
1. Heat the Rice
Gently squeeze the Eat Regal Whole Grain Brown Rice pouch to loosen the grains. Tear the top open about an inch and microwave for 90 seconds. Let it cool slightly while you prep the veggies.
2. Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
3. Build the Salad
Add the warm brown rice to the vegetable mixture. The slight warmth of the rice helps soften the lettuce just enough and brings out the aroma of the whole grains.
4. Toss and Garnish2
Fold in the shredded cheese and salsa. To prepare, toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly coated. For an extra burst of flavor, top the dish with fresh avocado slices or jalapeños.
