Receta Corn Ceviche & Veggie Burrito Bowl
I love Chipotle burrito bowls. But…. (Yes, there is a but.) For various health reasons I feel guilty eating one. To avoid the guilt, I made my own and controlled the sodium, ingredients and the portion of my bowl. Homemade burrito bowls are my new thing now. While my rice cooker performed its magic on the rice, I made the Corn Ceviche, the Salsa Roja and the Blue Cheese Guacamole from scratch. The beans were part of a separate dinner a few nights before and it worked to my advantage to have some left. Of course you can skip making the beans from scratch and use canned beans.
This ceviche recipe is quite simple: fresh corn, jalapeño, cilantro, red onion and spices marry together to create a simply fresh and flavorful combination. Perfectly delicious over shrimp tacos better yet a perfect crunch in a burrito bowl.
To make the salsa you’ll need to first char the tomatoes under the broiler. This should only take a few minutes. You want the skin to crack and separate. Make sure to peel it before placing in the blender.
This Salsa stores well in the fridge as well. It’s perfect with tortilla chips, over tacos or even with eggs.
Needless to say I had a fabulous lunch the following day. I recommend leaving the guacamole out of the lunch equation, unless the brown yucky science project it becomes the next day is your thing.
