    How to craft a healthy pulled pork burrito bowl

    Burrito bowls are essentially a meal in a bowl, so you want to take care to make sure you're crafting a balanced and healthy bowl!

    Otherwise, you could just load up on a bowl of only pulled pork. Not gonna judge. But that's not exactly a burrito bowl.

    When putting together a burrito bowl, you'll want to start with a base. If you've ever been to Chipotle, just think about how they craft their bowls — rice and/or beans makes up the base. Here, I used white rice, but you can always swap it for cauliflower.

    Don't use TOO much of a base; otherwise, you'll fill up before you even get to the good stuff. A cup, max, should be more than enough!

    Then, add your meat. Of course, for this burrito bowl recipe, we're using pulled pork. I'm totally leaving the pulled pork recipe up to you, but I do offer a list of suggested Chelsea Joy Eats recipes you can use! Again, don't overload on the pork — ½ cup to ¾ cup should do it.

    Now we've got the fun part. The sides and toppings! This is where you get to really load up your burrito bowl.

    Sauted onions and peppers are a MUST for me when putting together a burrito bowl. They bulk up the base without adding too much crunch.

    Then, add in fresh veggies like fresh radishes, sliced avocado, and salsa, along with fresh herbs like chopped cilantro. Bonus points if you add in pineapple (which I definitely used in the recipe, but TOTALLY forgot in the photos. *facepalm*)

    What to incorporate into pulled pork burrito bowls

    Something I LOVE about "bowl" recipes — they are endlessly customizable. I've given you the basics for these simple pulled pork burrito bowls, but I HIGHLY encourage you to add, swap, and experiment to find your perfect bowl.

    Here's a few different ideas to get you started:

    • Pineapple (grilled if possible!)
    • Salsa verde
    • Pico de gallo
    • Sliced black olives
    • Pickled jalapenos (less bite than fresh!)
    • Quick-Pickled radishes
    • Pickled red onions
    • Taco sauce (I like Siete Foods taco sauce!)
    • Black beans
    • Cotija or feta cheese
