Cook the Rice 🍚

Sauté Spinach & Mushrooms 🍄
In the same pan, sauté mushrooms (no oil needed if using nonstick spray). After 4–5 minutes, add minced garlic and fresh spinach. Cook until wilted. Season to taste.
Assemble Your Bowl 🍽️

Garnish & Serve 🌟
Finish with a sprinkle of cilantro or a squeeze of lime. Serve warm and enjoy the fiesta in a bowl!
✅ WW Smart Tips:
Swap white rice with cauliflower rice or ½ cup quinoa (lower points and adds protein).
Use cooking spray instead of olive oil to save 3 points.
Guacamole: Try WW-branded or light guac to keep points lower—or use mashed avocado with lime and garlic for a DIY version.
Beans are zero-point on most plans—just rinse and warm!
