Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef* and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
-
Once beef is lightly browned, turn off heat and add al pastor sauce to pan; stir to combine.
-
Return to medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through and sauce has slightly reduced, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If sauce is reducing too fast, lower heat to medium.
-
Meanwhile, drain corn and place in a large bowl. Massage brown rice in package to separate grains; add to bowl with corn. Season with salt and pepper. Stir.
-
Cover tightly with plastic wrap; microwave until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Let rest 1 minute.
-
Halve lime. Crush tortilla chips in bag.
-
Divide corn and brown rice between bowls and top with al pastor beef. Serve with a squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with crushed tortilla chips and cotija. Tear cilantro over top of bowls (or use kitchen shears to snip over top!).
