To taste, not counted: ground cumin and salt; salsa and a squeeze of lime, to taste. They add a few calories at most.

Method

Warm the rice and beans together in a pan or the microwave with a pinch of cumin and salt.
Divide the spinach between two bowls and spoon the rice and beans over it.
Top with the avocado and cheddar, then add salsa and lime to taste.

How the calories add up

Half an avocado adds 160 calories, mostly from fat, and the cheddar adds 113.
Canned black beans are often a little different from beans boiled at home. For canned beans, use the can’s label in the recipe calculator.
Salsa and lime add only a few calories per serving and aren’t counted. Sour cream or extra cheese would be.
