Homemade Chipotle Bowl

For those of you who eat out all the time, you probably eat at chipotle a lot #AndIDontBlameYou.  I always order a vegetarian bowl but here is a recipe for a meat bowl.  It came out, DELICIOUS!

Ingredients: 

Rice: 
2 Cups Brown Basmati Rice
1 bunch Cilantro, chopped
2 Stalks Scallion, chopped
4 1/4 cups water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Meat/Beans:
1 Medium Onion, chopped
2 Garlic Cloves, chopped finely
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 Red, Yellow, or Orange Pepper, chopped
1 Package mushrooms, sliced
1/2 Jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1/2 lb Ground Chuck
1 Can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/2 bunch Cilantro, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
SRIRACHA to taste

Pico de Gallo:
1 Beefsteak Tomato (firm), chopped
2 small shallots, chopped finely
2-3 stems cilantro, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp lime juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
SRIRACHA to taste
>> Just mix everything in a bowl and VWALA!

I bought the kale-amole from Whole Foods for my guacamole but you can use your favorite recipe. 
I also used tofutti parve sour cream but obviously real sour cream is way more delicious.

Rice:
1... Add oil to the pan on medium high heat and add the scallions and cook until soft.  Add 1/4 of the cilantro and stir.
2... Add the rice and sauté for 1 minute.
3... Follow the directions on the rice package.  Divide the cooking time on the package by 3 and add cilantro 3 times throughout the cooking process (one of the times being after the rice is already cooked).
... This allows for different flavors of cilantro to come through; some will be thoroughly cooked through and some will be raw and pungent.

Meat/Beans:
1 >> Add oil to the pan and add turmeric directly into the oil in a pan on medium high heat.  Add onion and cook until soft.
2 >>  Add garlic, peppers, and jalapenos. Sauté until soft.
3 >> Add mushrooms and cook until soft and water is evaporated.
4 >> Add meat and sauté until all the meat and cooked through and browned.
5 >> Add the beans, cayenne, chili powder, and the SRIRACHA.
It is ready when the beans just begin to fall apart.

To assemble... #drumrollplease ... Just put everything on top of each other in a bowl and garnish with SRIRACHA!

These pictures don't have the pico-de-gallo in them. Don't forget you can also add queso fresco and/or grated cheddar cheese.
