I love a good Pangoa Bowl from Freshii but I would much rather make it myself at home. Once I started making these at home they just don’t hit the spot when I buy one. You can add your proportions just as you like with the perfect amount of sauce, so good.
This is my second re-creation from Freshii, and my absolute favorite is the Oaxaca Bowl with Spicy Yogurt Sauce. Every time I make these my husband raves about them and says how much better they are. We also love how many veggies are in these and we feel so good about this meal! It’s healthy, delicious and easy to make into a vegetarian meal.
So like I said earlier, I like my bowls better because you can tweak them to your liking. The original recipe calls for brown rice and doesn’t come with chicken or tortilla strips. I have also tried it with a little kale and that wasn’t my favorite so I switched it to white rice and no kale. My husband likes the brown rice so it just depends on what you prefer.
I say it all the time here on my blog but I love sauce! The more sauce the better in my opinion, and the spicy BBQ sauce in this bowl is amazing. I found the recipe for the BBQ sauce here. These bowls are not only good the first time, but they make great leftovers to take for lunch.
This recipe is very loosely made because with many of my recipes, I don’t measure what I put into the bowl. I just add in the proportions to my liking and so should you!
