Here's our at-home take on restaurant burrito bowls. We start with rice, kielbasa and black beans, then top 'em with salsa, red onion and cilantro. Use a spicier sausage if you want to crank up the heat. —Abby Williamson, Dunedin, Florida

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 package (14 ounces) smoked turkey kielbasa, cut into 1/4-inch slices
