This is more than just a recipe blog. I am not a chef. I am not a nutritionist, dietitian, or anything else. I am a mom of a 4 year old daughter with celiac disease, wife of a Crossfit junkie, and healthy food lover. I love learning about and cooking new, healthy and delicious gluten free food. This is simply me sharing the ways I take care of my family by being aware and mindful of the food I feed them and as a result making lots of {Gluten Free Love} by Melissa.
4 strips bacon
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 cup brown rice
Red pepper flakes to taste
2 green onion, chopped
6-8 corn tortillas, heated in a non-stick pan
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 ripe avocado
Combine broth, rice, garlic and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil then turn down and let simmer on medium low. Start the rice about 45 minutes before you want to eat. Chill out while the rice works. When rice has about 10 more minutes start cooking the bacon till crispy. Crumble bacon and set aside. Drain excess grease (leave just a little). In the same pan that you cooked the bacon, pour in the rice (its okay if there’s still a little water in it) Scrap the bottom of the pan to get all the bits up. Add salsa, black beans, and corn. Simmer till water is completing gone. Stir in crumbled bacon and onions. Top with fresh avocado and cheese.
* Brown rice is far superior to white rice in so many ways. Yes, it takes longer to make, but as long as you have an idea ahead of time that you want rice then it’s not a problem.
