Ingredients

green onion brown rice

  • 2 ½ cups warm chicken stock
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup long grain brown rice
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

assembly

  • 16 halved cherry tomatoes (tossed in fresh minced oregano, optional)
  • 4 thinly sliced radishes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija
  • 1 thinly sliced avocado
  • 1/8 thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded romaine hearts
  • 1/2 cup crema optional
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce optional
  • 4 lime wedges optional

Instructions

  • For carne asada: Make according to recipe linked above.
  • For rice: Place stock, garlic and salt into a blender and blend for 2 minutes.
  • Pour oil into a medium pot and place over medium-high heat. Add rice and toast for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour garlic infused stock into the pot with rice and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to medium and bring stock to a hard simmer. Partially cover and continue to simmer until the stock has been absorbed and the rice has cooked through.
  • Add green onion to the rice, season with salt and pepper and fluff together with a fork. Set aside.
  • To assemble: Scoop some of green onion rice into each bowl, top each bowl with about 6 ounces of carne asada and add remaining ingredients. Sprinkle each bowl a few dashes of hot sauce, a drizzle of crema and a squeeze of lime, if using, and serve.
