Burrito Bowl

Burrito Bowl

  • Rooster

  • 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Easy
Cooking with rooster meat adds extra flavour and protein to your dish... not quite chicken, not quite turkey... is how we would describe it, but the rich dark meat has a wonderful taste!  These burrito bowls are packed full of goodness. They’re great for dinner or simply load up your lunchbox and it’s your week’s worth of lunch sorted. We took the bone out of the rooster leg, but that’s not necessarily needed if you want to cut corners and make life easier for yourself. It will also cut down some of the preparation time.

Ingredients

  • 2 Rooster Legs
  • Salt and Black Pepper
  • 200g of white rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • Cook to packet instruction
  • 570g black beans (I used boldbeanco)
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon each of Salt & black pepper
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 Large garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Spicy Chipotle paste

Method

  1. 2 Rooster legs, boned, seasoned with salt & pepper and roasted in a pre heated oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes. If you’re leaving the bone in the leg then cooking time may be a good 5 to 10 minutes longer, check that the juices run clear.
  2. While the rooster legs are cooking, prepare your rice and cook to the packet instructions. Once cooked removed from the heat, remove the pan lid and cover with a clean towel.
  3. While your rooster and rice are cooking, prepare the beans. In a non-stick frying pan heat 1 tablespoon of oil, gently sauté the chopped onion until lovely and golden, add the garlic cloves, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and oregano to coat the onions. Then add the beans and the bean juice, stir to combine. Add a splash of water if need be. Stir through the chipotle paste and gently cook for about 5 minutes. Once thickened turn the heat off.
  4. Now for the fun part - assembling the bowls! Dice the meat up or chop fine. We used Shredded lettuce, Tomato’s, Yellow pepper, Fresh Coriander, Padron Peppers, Beans, Rice and slices of the rooster, a little grated cheese and a good dollop of garlic mayonnaise. We lightly toasted some tortillas wraps to scoop up the mix with.  We think you'll love this flavour-packed burrito bowl!
