Taco fiesta bowls with crispy cheese and greens
This is a weeknight bowl that comes mostly done in the box: just warm it, crisp some cheese on top, and pile on fresh greens to balance the beans and rice. The Bush's bowl has beans, rice, and a mild tomato sauce with corn built in, so you need only five minutes of your time.

To buy
- 1 cup [113 g] sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 cups [120 g] romaine lettuce or mixed greens
From your shelf
- 1 box Taco fiesta black beans and brown rice bowls, Bush's
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- to taste salt
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and divide the contents of the box between two shallow bowls or a plate, breaking up any clumps. Once the oil shimmers, pour the mixture into the skillet and let it warm through for two minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Scatter 1 cup shredded cheddar over the beans and rice, stirring gently until some cheese melts into the warm grains and some stays in pieces. This will take one minute.
- Divide between two bowls and top each with 2 cups of fresh greens, a pinch of salt, and a light drizzle of oil.
Note Swap the cheese for cotija if you have it. Leftovers keep three days refrigerated; reheat gently with a splash of water. Serve with lime wedges, hot sauce, and sour cream on the side.
