http://vicki-kitchen.blogspot.comWhen we were on holiday in Las Vegas for a couple of days we had lunch
in Chipotle which for my UK friends is a Mexican style food takeaway .
It's really good and I had this Burrito bowl both days it was really
filling and fresh tasting it's basically a burrito without the tortilla
wrap and thought when I was there Im sure I can make this slimming world
friendly.
Sooo it might sound like a bit of work but it's really not just some
prep and assembling and it's well worth it . The meal is made up of a
few components pulled pork, pico de gallo, lime and coriander rice,
black eyed beans, shredded lettuce and fat free greek yogurt (instead of
the sour cream) you can also add avocado and grated cheese if not
planning on it being so slimming world friendly. I love avocado but at
9 1/2 syns per 100g couldn't really have it in this.The idea being you
can help yourself and choose what you want in your burrito bowl.
Mexican style pulled pork
2lb lean pork shoulder or fillet (all fat removed)
1 lime
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 large onion (chopped)
spray oil
1 green chili (chopped)
Mix the cumin , oregano, salt and pepper together. Spray the pork with a
little oil and then rub the cumin/oregano mix all over the pork and
place in a slow cooker. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over
the pork and throw in the slow cooker with the chili, onion and garlic.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. Drain of excess liquid
then pull the meat apart with two forks until all meat is shredded.
Pico de gallo
3 large ripe vine tomatoes (chopped)
1 red onion (finely chopped)
1/2 bunch coriander leaves (chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
juice of 1 lime
1 green chili (chopped..take seeds out if you don't want it too hot)
Just combine everything in a bowl and leave for 30 minutes before
serving for the flavours to combine. Taste for seasoning before serving.
Lime and coriander rice
400g cooked rice (I use boil in the bag rice I find it easier)
juice of 1 lime
1/2 bunch coriander leaves (chopped)
Just combine the hot cooked rice with the lime and chopped coriander.
Black eyed beans
Open can and reheat (lol) some things are that easy : )
You can see from the pictures just lay out the individual components and
everyone can help themselves. If you want to make a burrito just get
some tortillas and use the individual components and wrap them up in the
tortilla.
