Burrito Bowls

This is one of my family's FAVORITE meals. It's easy, yummy, super easy to make and naturally gluten free!

BURRITO BOWLS            serves 6
(there's actually a restaurant that makes these but there's none around here so this is a knock off of their bowls)

1lb. ground beef or ground turkey
2 cups of uncooked white or brown rice, which ever you have on hand
lettuce
a dash cayenne pepper sauce
lime juice about 1 tb or half a lime
salt to taste
sour cream
shredded cheese
and of course some bowls :-)

1- Cook rice as directed. I use 4 cups of water, 2 cups of rice, and a dash of salt. Cook until tender. When water is absorbed add the lime juice and salt to taste. This family really loves the lime flavor so I use more than the 1 tablespoon. I use about the whole lime but that part is all up to you.

2- While the rice is cooking- cook the meat. Brown and drain any access juice that might if came out while cooking. When this is done I add our favorite Franks Red Hot Sauce. Just a few dashes adds a nice flavor without that powerful kick of flavor.

3- When this process is over set aside while you pull out the rest of the ingredients for the bowls.


4- Pull whole leaves from the lettuce with the effort of trying to not rip them. Wash and dry with a paper towel.
5- Now start layering. Lettuce leaf on bottom. Add a few scoops of rice. (It's a nice tummy filler). Then add some meat, sour cream, cheese, Wholly Molly avocado dip.....the list of toppings could be endless.


The end project is something of this sort.....100% Delicious!

So I hope you enjoy this great gluten free meal.
