Chicken Barbacoa Bowl
This vibrant bowl takes its cues from the traditional barbacoa Chef Andres grew up eating in Atlixco, Puebla. The chicken is slow-cooked with guajillo chiles, garlic, and warm spices until deeply flavorful, then piled over basmati rice cooked with sautéed onion, poblano, and cilantro (aka not your average rice). It’s paired with a bright jicama and corn salad, plus a generous spoonful of red salsa macha—roasted tomato and jalapeño blitzed into a zesty swirl.
