Eric Akis: Have your burrito in a bowl - mandarin dish restaurant menu

On some of the local restaurant menus, and even in some of the big Victorian grocery stores that offer homemade food,to-
Ordering, like Whole Foods, I noticed a bowl of burrito.
They feature items that you can wrap or serve with burritos, but instead of tightly sealing them in tortillas, they are well placed in a bowl.
I love the idea because the items you put into the burritos are usually bright, colorful, visually appealing, but lose some luster when stuffed into the tortillas.
When displayed in a bowl, everything is on display.
Another reason some people like the burrito bowl is that it reduces the intake of calories and/or gluten if there is no flour burrito.
If you are not that kind of person like me, of course you can dip the bowl with a warm tortillas or tortillas.
If you want to make a burrito bowl at home, I have already made recipes for it.
One is the bowl itself, and the other is used to make rice and sauces, which you can also put in.
Vegetables, beans toppings and rice in the bowl can be made in advance and re-heated.
You can adjust things to your liking.
For example, if you want to use normal brown rice instead of my Mexican rice
Rice, or do not want to do salsa dance, want to use the store
Buy it.
This recipe can see items that you can wrap with a nice burrito or eat with burrito.
It will be a delicious dinner.

1 cup of frozen corn kernels, dry after thawing 1 (14 oz. /398 mL)
You can pour black beans, pour them off, rinse them, and pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of green juice, 1 teaspoon of chili sauce, for example, Tabasco 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon dry beef to 1 teaspoon smoked pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Salt, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

Brown rice style (
See recipes below)
Avocado cream (
See recipes below)
Grilled cherry tomato salsa (
See recipes below)
Ground Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, taste coriander, taste small green vegetables or shredded lettuce (see Note 2)
Freshly sliced or canned chili peppers for tasting (optional)
Taste tortillas and chili sauce such as Tabasco (optional)
About 3/4 cups of Mexican spoons-
Put one of the four large and shallow bowls each.
Sprinkle a large amount of vegetable bean mixture on one side of each bowl of rice.
On the other side of each bowl, enlarge the amount of avocado cream and roasted cherry tomato salsa.
Now put some grated cheese, coriander and green vegetables (
Or shredded lettuce)
If used, there are Mexican pepper slices in each bowl.
Fill each bowl with lime corners and chili sauce for squeezing and sprinkling on the contents of each bowl.
You can also provide some tacos and chips for each bowl, if needed, to collect items in it.
Note 1: Most supermarkets have dark green Burano peppers.
They are a bit spicy than green peppers and taste more, though the latter can be used in this recipe if you can't find the poblano pepper.
Note 2: micro-green is a small tender branch of vegetables picked after the first batch of leaves grow.
You will find them for sale at some of the larger Victoria food stores, such as root pits and chili foods.
Use this nut-flavored, spiced, brown rice mixture as the basis for your burrito bowl.

This is a creamy, smooth avocado.
Add a rich mix of sour cream to the burrito bowl.
Preparation time: 5 minutes Cooking time: no production: 1 cup or so large cooked avocado, halved vertically, 1/3 cups into the station, plus 1 tablespoon sour cream 1 tablespoon lime juice 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin Salt, taste with a spoon of soup, scoop out the flesh from each half of the avocado, and place it in a food processor or a soaked Cup (hand)blender.
Add sour cream, lime juice, cumin and pulse until a smooth mixture is formed.
Season avocado cream with salt.
Transfer to the bowl, wrap the lid tightly and refrigerate until the burrito bowl is needed.
Avocado cream can be made a few hours in advance.
Roasted tomatoes and other ingredients used in this recipe condense their taste and create a rich and interesting salsa sauce.
Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 22 minutes production: 1 pint a cup and a half (about 20 to 24)
Cherry tomatoes (
I use grapes and tomatoes)
1/4 cup sliced, dried canned or fresh jalapeno 1/2 medium and small onions, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon Anko chili powder (see Note)
1/4 teaspoon grated cumin 2 tablespoons olive oil salt taste 2 to 3 teaspoons lime juice 3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander Preheat oven to 450 F.
Add tomatoes, jalapeno, onions, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin and olive oil to 10-
Inch cast iron or other waterproof frying pan.
Stir tomato surface with oil;
Season with salt.
Roast tomatoes for about 20 to 22 minutes until they start to split.
Place ingredients in a frying pan of a food processor and stir until chopped.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add lime juice, and then cool to room temperature.
Add coriander when it's cold.
Taste salsa and season with more salt if needed.
Cover salsa and refrigerate before you need it.
I will put it in the fridge for a few days.
Note: Anchao chili powder is made of dry, ground Anchao chili.
It is sold on bottled vanilla and spice aisles in most supermarkets.
If you can't find it or don't want to use it, replace it with plain chili powder.
Eric's choice: for chili sauce, just increase the amount of pepper used.
