Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef Burrito Bowls with Turmeric Rice and Cabbage Slaw - gluten-free, paleo, healthy dinner recipe
Hellooooo Monday!
I took a short trip to Berkeley, CA over the weekend to visit a few friends (one being Sarah from Making Thyme for Health, which was a lovely little getaway! We brunched at La Note, we hiked, we lunched at Sweetgreen, we pizza-d at The Cheese Board, we brewery-ed at Federation Brewing…I passed out at 9pm…all essential activities for a much-needed mini vaycay.
SO. Food this week! I’m thinking crock pot all the way. I know much of the U.S. is still experiencing warm weather, but it’s been chill-ay here! As soon as the weather starts cooling off, I immediately start craving comfort foods that are big on fill-ability and flavor. You’re looking at my idea of comfort food at its finest right here.
These bowls are a mash up of three existing recipes on this site – my Barbacoa Beef recipe, my Ginger-Turmeric Aromatic Rice, and my Maple-Bourbon BBQ Sauce recipe. The three combined make for one epic burrito (slash deconstructed taco) bowl! I made a quick cabbage and carrot slaw, sliced up some radishes and avocado, sat back, and marveled at the vibrance.

A note about the barbecue sauce: I felt the bowls needed a sauce to tie everything together, but they’re great with or without sauce. If you aren’t looking to make a big batch of homemade barbecue sauce, I’ve got you! You can use a store-bought sauce, or stick with guacamole and/or salsa. All sorts of options here!

Like any bowl you’ll find on this site, you can change it up to cater to your dietary needs. Use a vegetable “rice” (such as cauliflower rice) rather than regular rice, or go full-tilt taco or burrito. The man used some of the leftover beef for his breakfast burritos, while I stuck with the bowl as pictured.
Get that Monday!

PRINT

INGREDIENTS

BARBACOA BEEF:

  • 1 4-pound bone-in beef chuck roast
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 chipotle chilis in adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

EASY CABBAGE SLAW:

  • 4 cups red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1.5 cups grated carrot
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste

FOR SERVING:

  • 1 batch Ginger-Turmeric Aromatic Rice
  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and sliced
  • 6 radishes sliced
  • 4 ounces microgreens
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantrochopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Maple Bourbon BBQ Sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARE THE BARBACOA BEEF:

  1. Place the beef in your crock pot and sprinkle with salt. Add the broth, chilis in adobo sauce, and ground cumin to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour this mixture into the crock pot and cover. Set on low for 8 to 12 hours.
  2. When the barbacoa beef is ready, transfer the beef roast to a cutting board and use two forks to shred it. Transfer the shreds back to the crock pot for 15 minutes (or more) to absorb the juices.

PREPARE CABBAGE SLAW:

  1. Place the thinly sliced cabbage in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with lime juice and sea salt. Use your hands to massage and squeeze the lime juice into the cabbage - this will help break down some of the fibers in the cabbage and make it easier to chew. Taste slaw for flavor and add more lime juice and/or sea salt to taste.

MAKE THE BOWLS:

  1. If you love crispy barbacoa beef, heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high. Transfer some of the barbacoa beef (just enough for 1 layer) to the hot skillet and allow it to cook, stirring every 2 minutes or so, until the beef is nice and crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Repeat this process until you have enough crispy beef for serving. If you're fine with tender shredded beef, you can skip this step and go straight to bowl formation.
  2. Load up bowls with Ginger Turmeric Aromatic Rice (or rice of choice), shredded barbacoa beef, cabbage slaw, avocado, radishes, microgreens, and cilantro. Drizzle with Maple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce, and serve!

SPRING VEGETABLE BUDDHA BOWLS WITH AVOCADO GREEN GODDESS DRESSING Roasted spring vegetable Buddha bowls with asparagus, radishes, golden beets, cauliflower, peas, and a creamy dreamy mayo-free avocado-based green goddess dressing. WINNING! Does anyone else get a kick out of the psychology of food in relationships? You know that dance most couples do come 6pm? One person doesn’t care what they both eat, but the other person does, but he/she doesn’t want to make a big deal or cause a scene, so he/she’s super unspecific and vague about what he/she wants to eat, so the person who doesn’t care chooses because all he/she wants to do is find a solution and  eat , and the person who does care gets frustrated and makes a big deal and causes a scene because that’s not what he/she wanted, and their partner should know him/her well enough by now, and then there’s this passive-aggressive non-argument that leads to irritation for both people until dinner’s finally over and Netflix he...

SALMON AND ROOT VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

SALMON AND ROOT VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER A one-pan sheet pan dinner recipe with winter root vegetables and salmon. A quick, adaptable recipe perfect for chilly winter evenings in, and the perfect go-to for paleo or Whole30 meals.   Aside from the snow, one of my favorite parts about winter is the produce. I bet you can guess why…  it’s because root vegetables are in season during the winter. Roots are incredibly nutritious, and are a brilliant for those who are looking to step up their vitamin and mineral intake, or for those who are looking for antinflammatory, antioxidant-rich foods. While this meal can be prepared using seasonal produce from any time of year, I’m loving the use of root vegetables for a speedy quick, comforting winter sheet pan dinner. It’s been long time since I’ve highlighted a new root vegetable on the blog, so I thought I’d talk about sunchokes for a hot second. Who here has heard of, tasted, and/or loves sunchokes? They’re such a coo...
