I love the easy prep of bowl meals. To make this quick blackened fish burrito bowls recipe even faster and easier, I used some ready-to-go ingredients. Canned black beans, frozen corn, and pre-made salsa make this dish easy!
Author: Alison's Allspice
Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
Blackened fish
½ lb fish of choice
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp onion powder, garlic powder, and salt, each
⅛ tsp cayenne, thyme, and oregano, each
Splash canola oil
Burrito Bowls
1½ cups cooked brown rice
1 cup each: cooked black beans, sliced red cabbage, corn (frozen/thawed)
½ cup crumbled queso fresco
¼ cup salsa
Instructions
Cut the fish into small pieces (mine where about 1 inch by ½ inch).
Combine paprika, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cayenne, thyme, and oregano in a large bowl.
Add the fish to the bowl and toss to coat in the spices.
Heat a heavy bottomed skillet (I use cast iron) over medium high heat. When hot, add a splash of oil and the seasoned fish. Cook 3-4 minutes or until the fish is opaque, stirring once to "flip" the fish pieces.
Bowls
Between 2 medium bowls, split the cooked rice, black beans, red cabbage, corn, queso fresco, and salsa. Top with cooked fish and serve hot!
Notes
These ~600 calorie bowls are perfect for me. For lighter portions, split recipe into 3 bowls (~400 calories each).
