Bare Burrito #2

Jeff and I were craving some Mexican food this week, so we decided to modify one of our favorite dishes...



 What you will need for the rice...
  • 2 cups uncooked brown rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup chicken stock (from the slow cooker)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
What you will need for the rest...
  • pulled whole chicken kept moist with some of the stock; slow cooked 9 hours with 2 cloves garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, splash of hot sauce, and a few jalopenos
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 2 green peppers, diced
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 1/4 cup jalopenos, diced
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes, drained
  • salsa for topping
  • shredded mexican cheese blend for topping
In a pot, combine the rice, water, chicken stock, chili powder, and cumin.  Cover and bring the rice to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 50 minutes.   In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and add the diced peppers, onions, jalopenos, salt and pepper, and 1 tsp chili powder.  Allow the vegetables to cook for a few minutes and then add the chicken, beans, and tomatoes.  Cover and cook on medium about 10 minutes.  Load up your plate, top with salsa and cheese, and enjoy.  The best part about this dish is that you can add anything you want to make it your own...YUM-OLA!!!

How many people can eat...should feed about 10 of your friends.
