Steps

1. Bring water to a boil in a pot. Stir in the rice and beans packet and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
2. While rice cooks, drain and rinse the canned corn. Halve the avocados and remove the pit.
3. Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with corn and one avocado half. Squeeze lime juice over top, season with salt, and sprinkle with cilantro if using.
