Ingredients

  • ½ cup organic brown rice OR brown basmati rice
  • 1 tablespoon grass-fed organic sea-salted butter OR coconut oil extra-virgin and unrefined AND 1 pinch pink Himalayan salt OR sea salt, ground
  • 1 16-ounce can organic vegetarian refried black beans
  • 3 large organic Hass avocados , peeled AND pitted
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime OR lemon juice
  • 3 drops lime essential oil
  • 3 drops cilantro essential oil
  • 8 ounces soy-free Vegenaise OR your preferred avocado oil OR grapeseed oil vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Mama Z’s Homemade Taco Seasoning
  • 1 4-ounce can organic fire-roasted green chili peppers , drained AND chopped
  • 3 medium tomatoes OR 5 small organic Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • ¾ cup pitted AND sliced organic black olives PLUS more (optional) for serving
  • 2 cups shredded dairy-free Cheddar-style cheese alternative *

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan set over high heat, bring 1 cup water to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and add the rice and butter. Cover and cook for 10-14 minutes. (It can be slightly undercooked as it will absorb more liquid while it bakes.)
  • Spread an even layer of the refried beans on the bottom of an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish. Cover with the cooked rice.
  • Place the avocados in a food processor or a bowl. Add the lime juice and the essential oils and blend or mash until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly on top of the rice.
  • Blend the vegan mayonnaise and the taco seasoning in a bowl or food processor. Spread evenly over the avocado layer. Blend the chiles and tomatoes together in the food processor and layer them evenly over the taco seasoning, followed by a layer of black olives.
  • Top off with the Cheddar-style shreds.
  • Bake for 30 minutes-1 hour, depending on how crisp you want the cheese.
  • Serve with gluten-free taco chips, extra olives, and sliced avocado or over a salad.
