Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare the ingredients in advance?
Yes. The rice, protein, and vegetables (except the avocado) can be prepared very well in advance. Add the avocado and chipotle mayo just before serving to keep things fresh.

Is it too spicy for children?
No, if we adjust it. Use only 1 chipotle pepper for a mild version, or keep the sauce separate so everyone can add it to their own bowl.

Can I substitute black garlic and maple sugar for the BBQ spices?
Yes. A homemade mix of paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili, salt and pepper works well if you don't have your own spices.

What other proteins work well?
Ground beef, diced chicken, shrimp, grilled firm tofu, pulled pork. It's a very flexible recipe.

Can I substitute the rice?
Yes. Quinoa, brown rice or a rice-lettuce mix make for a lighter but equally nourishing bowl.

How to store leftovers?
Store rice, vegetables, and protein separately for up to 3 days. Add avocado and chipotle mayo just before eating.
