Add rice, broth, beans, salsa, cumin, and garlic powder to the rice cooker. Stir gently to combine — it should look a little saucy, and that’s exactly right.
Close the lid and start the cook cycle. As it cooks, the rice absorbs all that flavor while the salsa and spices come together beautifully.
When it switches to Warm, leave the lid closed for about 10 minutes so the rice can finish steaming.
Fluff with a fork to mix everything together — the beans spread, the salsa blends in, and the rice turns soft and lightly coated.
Scoop into bowls and build your burrito bowls like a salad bar: start with greens, add the rice mixture, layer on protein, and finish with toppings like cheese, avocado, lime, or sour cream.
Serve warm and let everyone customize their own bowl.

Notes
Let the rice rest 10 minutes for the best texture.
