Chorizo Rice Bowl Ingredients:
- 250g chorizo (Spanish or Mexican), sliced or crumbled
- 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 capsicum/bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 lime wedge for serving

Chorizo Rice Bowl Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a pan and cook chorizo until it releases oil and becomes crispy.
Add onions and sauté until soft.
Stir in garlic, bell pepper, and tomato; cook until vegetables soften.
Add smoked paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper; mix well.
Add cooked rice to the pan and toss until fully coated with chorizo oil and spices.
Cook for a few minutes to let flavors blend.
Garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime.
Serve warm with optional avocado, egg, or cheese on top.
Recipe Notes:
Use Spanish chorizo for a firmer bite or Mexican chorizo for a spicier, softer texture.
Leftover rice works best for achieving a fluffy, non-sticky rice bowl.
Add toppings like avocado, fried egg, or cheese for extra richness.
Mix in beans or sautéed vegetables to create a fuller fusion-style bowl.
Finish with lime and coriander for fresh, bright flavor balance.
