Ingredients
 

For the avocado dressing:

  • 1 avocado (peeled and pitted)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ cup cilantro (leaves and stems)
  • 1 jalapeno (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2-3 Tablespoons water
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

For the bowls:

  • Olive oil (to coat)
  • 1 cup sliced mini mixed bell peppers (or 1 sweet bell pepper, chopped)
  • ½ yellow onion (chopped)
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups pulled pork (heated)
  • 1/2 cup pickled cabbage and onions
  • 1 avocado (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
  • 1 cup sweet corn

Instructions

For the dressing:

  • In a food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic and pulse until smooth.
  • Add the lime juice and the water, a Tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference. Refrigerate.

For the bowls:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6-7 minutes. Sprinkle with salt to taste, then remove from heat.
  • Divide the rice evenly among four bowls. Top with pulled pork, pickled onions, avocado, sweet corn, and sauteed peppers and onions. Drizzle with avocado dressing and serve.

Notes

  • You can use leftover white rice, traditional white rice, or minute rice. You can also substitute brown rice or another grain if you prefer. Here's a great tutorial on cooking rice on the stove top.
  • If you're pinched for time, feel free to skip the homemade dressing and try a store bought Cilantro Ranch or Green Goddess dressing.
  • You will most likely have leftovers of the dressing. It's also a great with Ground Beef Quesadillas, Mexican Grilled Chicken, and Marinated Skirt Steak.
  • See the post above for variation ideas.
