I like to add some taco mix to my guacamole as a little secret ingredient.

Prepare the Guacamole

Next, we’re going to prepare our chunky guacamole. I’m using half of an avocado that I’ve diced up. Just scoop that right into the bowl.

And I’m also going to add:

• diced tomato
• diced onion
• some chopped cilantro
• and half a clove of garlic

And we’re just going to squeeze a little bit of lime juice right on top. This is half a lime.

Prepare the Cabbage

Next, we’re going to prepare the cabbage and I’m just slicing it thinly and I’m massaging it with a little bit of lime juice and a little bit of salt.

Assemble the Bowls

And now we’re ready to assemble. So add your heated beans right into the bowl. And once your rice has finished cooking, we’re going to add the rice as well. So just split it up evenly between the two bowls.

Next, we’re going to add the cabbage right on in there to join the party. Again, split it between the two bowls. And then comes the star of the show. We’re going to add that chunky guacamole right on in there.

I’m adding some shredded mixed cheese here. You can use any cheese that you have on hand and like, and sprinkling a little bit of extra cilantro on top. And there you have it. Super simple and easy to make, and nutritious. Enjoy!
