Burrito Bowl

I've been making several dishes that are similar, and I finally combined them into one awesome dish.  It combines the best of them all. :)


Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno, minced
1/4 cup of diced onion (I used Pictsweet seasoning blend, of course)
1/2 cup of uncooked extra-long grain rice 
1/2 cup quinoa 
1 (14.5 oz) can of fire roasted tomatoes
1 (15oz) can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15.25 oz) can corn, drained
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of cumin
2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth 
salt & pepper
cilantro
feta cheese
any other toppings you want

  1. Brown meat.
  2. Sauté onions, garlic, and jalapeno in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.  I use my Dutch oven and do the meat at the same time.
  3. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Move to one side of pan.  In the other side of the pan add an additional tablespoon of olive oil and sauté uncooked rice and quinoa for about 2 minutes or just until some grains start to turn golden brown.
  5. Stir in remainder of ingredients except for cheese and optional toppings.
  6. Bring to a simmer, cover. and reduce heat to low.
  7. Cook about 20 minutes or until rice and quinoa is cooked and all of the liquid is absorbed.  You may need to stir it a little, then let it cook for a couple more minutes.
  8. Serve in a tortilla or in bowls. Top with feta cheese (not optional) and cilantro and other toppings as desired (lettuce, salsa, avocado, etc).
  9. Enjoy!!
