These Amazing Mexican Pot Roast Bowls may never have been created before. Which means that I don’t think any of my readers, or any recipe developer ever considered this twist. I say that with humor not ego. Maybe, it should be more properly said that it is an American spin on a Mexican classic beef dish. I am guessing that no one will ever google this idea to find a recipe they could follow.
Color and texture are keys to good recipes
All kidding aside, my recipe is delicious, has so much flavor and texture and color. Here are a few other bowls I have created that transport you around the world. It shows you how bowls are great vehicles for getting lots of flavor into your dish.
Rice is a great receptor of flavor and naturally gluten free
I noticed as I look at these prior recipes that the one thing they have in common is the rice. Rice is a great vehicle for picking up the flavors created in the dish. It is also gluten free which the diet I try to follow. In this recipe, I add some turmeric to the cooking to get yellow rice.
Complementing the bowl with great add-ons
The dish was rounded out with tomatillo salsa, a Mexican slaw, avocado crema and sauteed peppers and onions. Though it takes some time to cook, it could not be easier to create the pieces and assemble.

Add the pot roast and the onions and peppers, spices and garlic to the pressure cooker. Fill with enough water to submerge but not cover the pot roast. Cook for 1 hour. Remove from the pressure cooker and add to the Dutch oven.
Add all the veggies, spices and the liquid. Add the oranges and add enough liquid to come up to 1" below the top of the meat. Cover and simmer for a couple of hours. When done, pull the put roast using forks.
About 30 minutes prior to the meat being done, add the rice and the turmeric to the rice cooker. Set aside for serving.
