Instructions
- Use this recipe as a basis for a burrito bowl. Top it with meat like grilled, sliced chicken or BBQ beef brisket. It can also be served as a side salad. The avocado gives it a creamy and smooth texture. Do not add the avocado too far in advance of serving so the avocado doesn’t turn brown.
- Bring the chicken stock to a boil and add the sorghum pearls. Cook covered for 45 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. You may substitute lightly salted water if chicken stock in not available.
- While the sorghum pearls are cooking, dice tomatoes and bell pepper, chop the cilantro and slice the green onions.
- Refrigerate the sorghum pearls to cool completely.
- Dice the avocado and place in the lime juice until ready to mix.
- When the sorghum pearls are cooled — add the rest of the ingredients and blend.
