- Add black beans, corn and rice. Stir to combine.
- Add salsa, water and salt. Stir to combine and place cover on roaster.
- When Vapo-Valveā¢ begins to click steadily, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 - 30 minutes (according to package directions).
- Turn heat off and let roaster rest, undisturbed, for 10 minutes. Remove cover and gently stir mixture.

Tips:
- Serve burrito bowls with optional toppings so diners can customize to their tastes: shredded jack cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, guacamole, chopped tomato, minced scallions, cilantro, shredded lettuce or thinly sliced cabbage.
- Substitute chicken for shrimp.
- Substitute rice for quinoa, which cooks in approximately 16 - 20 minutes.
