Chipotle rice bowl

Chipotle Salsa

Found this recipe on: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/chipotle-salsa.html

Changes I make to the recipe: I never have chipotle peppers so I never add them. I add jalapeno peppers and red chili flakes.

Reason I make the changes: Non availability of ingredients.

Special note: Follow the recipe exactly to get a great taste.

3 hr 5 min
Prep:
5 min
Inactive:
3 hr
Yield:Approximately 5 cups
Level:Easy

Ingredients
Two 15-ounce cans diced tomatoes
One 10- or 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 to 3 (depending on your heat tolerance) chipotle peppers in adobo (see Cook's Note)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems roughly removed
1 medium onion, diced

Directions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Add the diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chiles, lime juice, cumin, salt, sugar, black pepper, chipotle peppers, cilantro and onions to a food processor and blend until totally combined. Give it a taste to check for seasoning.

Make the salsa several hours before serving, as it will give the flavors a chance to dance! Keeps in the fridge, covered, for about a week.

1 chipotle pepper will add a little bit of smokey flavor and a little spice, while 3 will add a stronger smokey flavor and a whole lotta spice.

How I make my chipotle rice bowl

Add fresh coriander and lemon to the boiled rice.

I replace sour cream with yogurt.

Sweet Corn

Mexican shredded cheese

Chipotle salsa (recipe above) - as I make only one salsa I adjust the spiciness according to my taste. This is the only ingredient which will be spicy.

Ice berg lettuce cut / shredded / tear with hand

Black beans / Rajma (Red kidney beans) - boil them. Then saute onion and green bell pepper in olive oil, add the beans and sprinkle some oregano on it. Add salt according to taste. cook for 5 mins.

Saute julian cut onion and green bell pepper in olive oil at high temperature but be careful not to burn them. Get the grilled look to onion and bell peppers.

Arrangement:
In a plate arrange in the order
put prepared rice, prepared beans, salsa, yogurt, corn , onion & green bell pepper, cheese and lettuce . And serve.
