Chipotle Cod Burrito Bowls with Coconut Cilantro Lime Rice and SpicyStrawberry Salsa

First for foremost, I wanted to apologize to all my viewers to not providing you with a new recipe in a while.... Lets just say, Life happened... times got super busy... Our third child was born in August... A beautiful baby boy. Now at 9 months old, I have made a commitment to myself to start blogging more often. I need to for me, I mean, why should I not blog.... I am doing what I love.... I love to cook, I want to share with all of you my passion for cooking, my newest recipes, the recipes of others that I have tried.

I'm excited to move forward with my blog and with all of you... we're in this together. Here is one of my newest recipes I have tried. I found this recipe on Pinterest. Originally, the recipe called for Mangos, however the mangos were no good at the stores when I was shopping... I'm a little OCD when it comes to my produce. I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as we all did.

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened, flaked coconut
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• Spicy Strawberry Salsa
• 1 medium size ripe mango, peeled, pitted + diced
• 1 1/2 cups strawberries, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeño, seeded + chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• pinch of salt
• To serve
• 4 tortilla bowls
• 4 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 1/4 cups cooked black beans
• 2 ears of corn on the cob grilled corn, kernels removed from ears
• 1 cup guacamole
• greek yogurt or sour cream
• shredded cheddar + crumbled cajita cheese
• fresh cilantro

In a medium bowl combine the olive oil, chipotle chiles, garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and onion powder. Whisk to combine. Add the cod and toss well. Cover and place in the fridge while you start the rice.

Add the coconut milk and coconut water to a medium size pot. Bring to a low boil and then add the rice, salt, unsweetened coconut and coconut oil. Stir to combine, then place the lid on the pot and turn the heat down to the lowest setting possible. Allow the rice to cook ten minutes on low and then turn the heat off completely. Let the rice sit on the stove, covered for another 20 minutes (don't take any peeks inside!). After 20 minutes remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Add the cilantro and lime juice, toss well. Keep warm.

Meanwhile make the salsa. Add the diced mango, chopped strawberries, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, pinch of cayenne and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl. Toss well, cover and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Once the grill is hot, add the cod, skin side facing up. Cook about 4-5 minutes and then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes or until crisp and mostly cooked through. Remove from the grill. Remove the skin and either flake with a fork or chop into chunks. This can also be done in a skillet if desired.

To assemble the bowls divide the rice among 4 tortilla bowls or regular bowls. Add the lettuce, black beans and corn. Divvy up the fish and then top each bowl with salsa, cheese, and a dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream. Eat!
