Mexican Rice Bowl With Black Beans & Greens

"A wonderful and healthy dish served up in a big bowl, with Mexican flavors. This recipe came from an on-line cooking class I took and while this is veggie based, I have added ground pork, or spicy sausages to it with wonderful results. Serve over steamed rice with salsa, avocado and cilantro"
