Avocado and rice is a great way to incorporate healthy fats into your diet. The avocado has a creamy, rich taste that pairs well with a variety of flavors.
When you combine it with brown rice, the avocado adds a creamy texture and a subtle, nutty flavor. And a fried egg on top just adds that “piece de resistance“, a protein-rich ingredient that complements the avocado and rice perfectly.
It is also a dish that is relatively simple and quick to prepare. To make the dish, all you need to do is cook some rice according to the package instructions and mash up some ripe avocados.
Then, mix the cooked rice and mashed avocado together, adding in any additional seasonings or herbs as desired. Finally, fry an egg to your liking and place it on top of the avocado rice.
This dish can be made in under 30 minutes, making it a great option for a weeknight dinner or a quick lunch.
