I like making burrito bowls. All different kinds. The ELOTE seasoning from Trader Joe’s is delicious. You can use it on so many things. I first tried it with popcorn. A nice sprinkle and then I went crazy with it. Now my kids and I always “sprinkle” a little too much on our popcorn every time!

I decided to make a burrito bowl with farro. Farro is is a type wheat that is often used in soups and salads. I love farro. I use it to replace rice in some dishes, as it is healthier.

ELOTE

ELOTE seasoning consists of salt, chili peppers, cheese, chipotle and cumin. You can purchase Everything but ELOTE seasoning from Trader Joe’s, Walmart and even Ebay!

There are so many ways to make a burrito bowl. I tend to always add too much cheese to my burrito bowls but there always healthier ways to make them. My usual go to, consists of white rice, guacamole, chicken, cheese, pico de gallo or salsa, corn and sour cream. Lastly, I always top it off with cilantro and lime or lemon! Whichever ever I have on hand.

This seasoning is all you need to make a farro burrito bowl. I used it to season the beef, the vegetables and the farro! The best part of making burrito bowls is that you can use whatever leftovers you have to create your own concoction. Feel free to make it with chicken or cod, omit the cheese, add beans or even use rice or quinoa.

This is why I love to cook! You can make whatever you want. Whether you want more or less of each seasoning.

Here is my ELOTE recipe!
