Burrito Bowls are great, they are an amazing thing to sit down and share on a cold day, one of my favorite Mexican dishes and I believe everyone can enjoy this, yes, it does take time but not something you need to have a lot of skill to make, just time!
Phase 1 Chicken
Chunk up some boneless chicken breasts, you can use chicken thighs if you’d prefer.
Mix in 2 spoons of minced garlic, some liquid smoke (You don’t need a lot, or it will taste like a shoe.)
Lots of black pepper, some Lime juice, some honey, Paprika, onion powder, and some ground cumin.
Lets this marinate covered for at least 2 hours, for best results, 24 hours.
We used the slow cooker to cook this over 6 hours on low with a bit of wine, and apple cyder vinegar and some water.
Phase 2 Mexican Rice
Take a strainer and put in 2 cups of rice and rinse until the water is clean, this will clean the starch off of your rice and then make it, we used a slow cooker.
We then used a wok to cook the rice mix.
1 Onion and Jalopino put through the food processor and then added to the rice
We used 2 cans of drained corn into the rice.
And some lime juice and then a can of crushed tomatoes.
Mix this well and cook well.
Phase 3 Black Bean Mix
We put 2 onions in a food processor, and then to the frying pan we added 2 cans of black beans, and no we did not drain them we want the liquid, and added some paprika, pepper, cumin and garlic and cooked this till the beans were nice and hot.
Phase 4 Chipolete Mayo
In a food processor we added 3 cans of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce
In a bowl with your now pureed chipolete we added some lime juice, mayo (no miracle whip guys, please.) some sour cream, apple cyder vinegar mix well.
Phase 5 Plate
I would take a huge plate, and a very small bowl, in the small bowl put your mayo in and set in the center of your large plate, and then add every piece of the meal and display well
This is a great meal, you can make guacamole and add lots of different things to it, make it your own, burrito bowls are an amazing treat, and yes they do take some time to make, but its worth every moment, I know my wife loves it!
