Since the time I ate this bowl, I am in love with this dish. This is very tempting mexican rice dish, made with fresh ingredients. After eating mexican food, I realized one thing that this is the kind of food which can satisfy indian taste buds for people like me. This dish is very easy to make at home, if you have all ingredients. So here is the recipe,
Ingredients for making rice
Rice 1 cup (you can use white or brown rice)
Fresh cilantro finely chopped
Lemon juice
Cumin seeds (my improvisation, they don’t use this in Chipotle)
Fajita veggies
1 cup julienne of green bell pepper
1 cup julienne of red bell pepper
1 cup onion thinly sliced
Salt to taste
Black pepper powder to taste
Lemon juice to taste
1-2 tsp olive or any other oil
Other ingredients
Black beans
Pinto beans
Guacamole (Recipe)
Fresh Tomato salsa (Recipe)
Sour cream
Shredded Lettuce
Sweet Corn Salsa (Recipe)
Mexican blend cheese (or just cheddar cheese is perfectly OK)
Recipe
1. For rice - cook the rice as usual. Now in a pan add little butter and add cumin seeds, lemon juice. Then add rice and gently mix it to cover the rice with lemon juice. Add salt to taste and fresh cilantro. Lemon rice is ready.
2. Cook the black beans and pinto beans separately
3. For fajita veggies - In a pan take some oil. Add onion first. Saute it for a minute, then add garlic and again saute for minute or two. Then add bell peppers and just saute them for a while. Do not cook them. We want these veggies crunchy.
To make a bowl
Take a medium sized bowl, first add rice to it, then beans and on it add fajita veggies and sweetcorn. Now add guacamole, tomato salsa, sour cream. And top it up with lots of veggies. Mix everything well and serv.
Tip
For sour cream - If you don’t want to buy or don’t have store bought sour cream, then do not worry, just take homemade sour curd and hang it in muslin cloth, to make hung curd. And there you have the fresh homemade sour cream. Before adding to the bowl, just whipp it nicely. I must tell, sometimes I just use our regular plain yogurt. Which works just great. Though hung curd and sour cream are different, it tastes just good.
