Cuban Bowl Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of white rice, a pinch of salt, and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

2. 2

   Prepare the Beans

   In a saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup of black beans and 1 tsp of cumin. Stir and heat until warmed through. Season with salt to taste.

3. 3

   Cook the Protein

   In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add your choice of protein and cook until fully cooked (chicken/beef: about 5-7 minutes, tofu: about 3-5 minutes).

4. 4

   Make the Tortilla Bowls

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Press each tortilla into an oven-safe bowl and brush with remaining olive oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crispy.

5. 5

   Assemble the Bowl

   Once everything is cooked, layer the crispy tortilla bowl with rice, black beans, cooked protein, pickled red onions, and sliced avocado.
