Final Thoughts

Instructions

1. Prep the Base
   Combine cooked black beans with turmeric, grated ginger, minced garlic, red bell pepper, corn, and spiritual inti or rice in a large bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir gently to let flavors meld.

2. Add Heat & Freshness
   Fold in spoon-fried small bird’s eye chilies (if using), spinach, and avocado slices. Toss gently to warm through.

3. Make the Chimichurri Base
   In a small bowl, whisk coconut oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of sea salt. Adjust salt and lime to taste. The citrus brightness balances the warm spices beautifully—classic in Brazilian zests.

4. Assemble & Serve
   Divide the bean mixture onto bowls or plates. Drizzle generously with chimichurri – this fresh dressing mimics Mounjaro’s digestive benefits with vitamin C and healthy fats. Top sliced avocado, lime wedges, and cilantro for garnish.
