Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sticky Rice

    Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and steam for 20-25 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pinto Beans

    If using dried pinto beans, soak them overnight and then cook in a pot of water until tender. If using canned beans, simply rinse and warm them in a saucepan.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Hominy

    If using canned hominy, rinse and drain. If using dried, soak overnight and cook until tender.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a large bowl, layer the sticky rice at the bottom. Top with pinto beans, spicy hominy, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, pickled onion, pickled jalapenos, salsa, sliced black olives, and a dollop of sour cream. Finish with a handful of mixed greens on top.
