Notes
- Toasting the rice in the avocado oil before adding the other ingredients will help to bring out more flavor.
- If you prefer a less spicy dish, reduce the amount of jalapenos or skip them altogether.
- You can also add additional vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for more variety and nutrients.
- You can add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make the dish heartier.
- Be sure to let the Qdoba Brown Rice rest for five minutes before serving. This will help ensure that all of the flavors and textures have time to blend together.
