Ingredients
  

  • 15 ounce can vegetarian refried beans (I used Trader Joe's Refried Pinto Beans Salsa Style)
  • Hot sauce, to taste (I used Aardvark Habanero)
  • 1/2 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup small dice zucchini
  • 1/2 cup small dice red, orange or yellow bell peppers
  • 1/3 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • Pink sea salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup lightly mashed avocado (1 small avocado)
  • Pink sea salt to taste
  • Fresh lime juice, to taste
  • 1/3 cup diced tomato (I used sliced cherry tomatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon sprouted mixed seeds (I used Go Raw)
  • 1/4 cup shredded romaine lettuce hearts
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Warm the beans in a small pot over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Season with hot sauce.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium-small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Saute the zucchini for 4 minutes or until just tender, then stir in the peppers, corn, cumin, chili powder, lime and salt. Cook for 2 minutes, or until hot.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, season the mashed avocado with salt and lime.
  • In a medium-small bowl, layer half of the hot beans, followed by half of the mashed avocado, half of the sautéed vegetables, half of the seeds, and half of the tomatoes.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, finishing off the bowl with shredded lettuce. Serve with warm tortilla chips.
