Cheesy Coconut Rice Chicken Taco Bowl with Ginger Guac - KoKo's From Cheeseland

**A Delicious Meal in Muffin Tin Bowls: A Step-by-Step Guide**

**Introduction to Coco’s Cheese: The Mother of All Cheeses**

Coco's cheese is a true standout, often referred to as "the mother of all cheeses." It’s the first and only coconut cheese I’ve ever tasted, and it’s absolutely wild. People try it at parties, take one bite, and are immediately intrigued. They take another bite, and they’re hooked. Even with expensive cheeses that cost a lot of money, you don’t need much—just a little sliver to savor and enjoy. It’s the kind of cheese that impresses everyone who tries it.

**Creating Bowls You Can Eat: A Fun and Mess-Free Idea**

Instead of using regular bowls that require cleaning, why not make your own edible bowls? All you need is a muffin tin. If you don’t have one, get creative—use whatever you can find. Flip the muffin tin over and place a tortilla inside. Push it down a bit to shape it, and you’re ready to go. Pop it in the oven at 350°F, and soon you’ll have perfectly shaped bowls that are as tasty as they are convenient.

**Marinating Chicken for Flavor: The Quick Way**

For the chicken, we’re going with thighs because they’re rich and flavorful. Instead of marinating them whole, which takes longer, we’ll cut them into pieces for a quicker cooking process. Toss the chicken in a simple marinade of lime juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. It’s easy, quick, and packs plenty of flavor. Let it sit while you prepare the other components.

**Making Flavorful Rice with Coconut Milk and Mushrooms**

Rice can be bland on its own, but add mushrooms, garlic, and coconut milk, and you’ve got a dish that stands out. Slice up some mushrooms and sauté them until they release their juices. Then, mix in your rice along with water and coconut milk. Season it with salt and pepper, and don’t worry about the exact ratio—just go with your gut. Cook it on the stovetop until it’s done, then toss in some chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.

**Cheese Land: The Star of the Meal**

Coco’s cheese is the star here. Grate or cube it into little chunks so each bite has its own identity—melty and warm but not completely blended into the rice. This adds texture and flavor, making every bite special. Once the rice is cooked, mix in the cheese to let it melt just a bit.

**Guacamole: Quick and Flavorful**

For the guacamole, use big Hass avocados. Scoop out the flesh, chop it up, and mix with peeled ginger (chopped finely for a subtle bite), lime juice, salt, and pepper. It’s quick and packs a punch of flavor. The contrast of creamy avocado and spicy ginger makes it a standout.

**Assembling the Meal**

Once everything is ready—cheesy rice, marinated chicken, and fresh guacamole—assemble them in your edible muffin tin bowls. Start with the rice, add a bit of chicken, and top it all off with generous amounts of guacamole. The combination is out of this world.

**Conclusion: A Fun and Delicious Meal**

This meal is more than just food—it’s an experience. It’s fun to make, even messier to eat, but worth every bite. Plus, the cleanup is a breeze since everything is eaten in bowls you can toss after finishing. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or entertaining guests, this dish is sure to impress. Enjoy your creation!

it's really wild people taste it at parties and they're like they take a bite and they're like what is going on then take another bite and you know with expensive cheeses even though they cost a lot of money you don't need very much you take a little sliver of this stuff you savor it you enjoy it everything works out everyone's happy so the cool thing is you know you can go out and buy bowls and then have to clean them and like you know do all that stuff to the dishes or you can make bowls that you can eat so all you do is you take a muffin tin like this if you don't have a muffin tin you figure it out you be creative you'll make it work but muffin tin flipped over Pop tortillas these are kind of like mediumsized tortillas in there like just got to push it down a little bit push it down and then you get that oven going at 350 all right now there are other steps to this recipe and what Mike is going to do is marinate the chicken so just cut up the chicken I want you to trim it Mike now typically with chicken thigh you keep it whole you marinate it for a while you cook it up but we're going to do the old quick way just the thing about this is it's going to cook your chicken real fast it's going to get all the flavor in there little standard pepper like everybody likes lime salt pepper and love juice mix it around easy breezy beautiful Cover Girl now you let that sit as long as it takes to make the rest of the stuff next step now that we've got the chicken marinated we need to make the rice now normally when people make rice Mike what do they do they put some water into the rice they add a little bit of salt and pepper and they say eat this and you're like no I don't want to eat that that's not that good buling so what we're going to do is we're going to get some Umami up in here slice up Umi mushies take the mushrooms just going to chop the mushrooms up now if you cook with just rice and water you're just going to have rice that tastes like pretty much nothing but if you take mushrooms and garlic and coconut milk you're going to make delicious flavorful rice that you can eat by itself and it's going to be incredible so what I do normally rice is 2 cups water to one cup cup rice but in this case we're going to do about 1 cup of water one cup of coconut milk maybe a little bit more water put the rice in here cook it all together the mushrooms are going to release all of their liquidy juices into the rice that's going to soak up all right so I'm going to take maybe you know the thing about rice is people are like oh it needs to be this ratio that ratio but you kind of just develop a feel for it you put some rice in you put a little bit more water in and if you need to add more at the end that is okay nobody cares more water at the end yeah if you need to add a little more water you know it's okay all I do is I take my rice I got about a cup and a half or so in here pour in some water and pour in some canned coconut milk salt the rice cuz the rice is oh Jesus balls pepper the rice and then of course mushroom the rice the r I've never done the mushrooms in the St water you'll see you'll see what I'm going to do is I'm going to be cutting up the cheese and putting it in once it's done and get it all melty so the coconut just helps it oh it's not could be good it is damn good it's damn good so with rice what you do is you bring it up to a boil then you turn it on low and you cover it and you just let it sit stuff comes up to a boil take your lid I don't even have the right size lid but that is okay oh Jesus you got to have the right size lid somewhere I don't know where it went turn it down every once in a while you can check it but the best thing to do do to keep the moisture and all the heat stuff in there the Magical Mystery rice has fined Mike I want you to chop up some cilantro just like that pop it in there look at how it goes mix that around it just adds oh H it adds Beauty it adds freshness it adds Beauty and freshness it's now Mike the cheese needs to go in so if you want to just I'll show you actually what we're going to do here what I like to do for this cheese is give it slicey slice why

saying I got the point just do it I'm just going to do it screw you buddy I know you kind of know how to cut stuff but you're not the only brother that knows how to cut yeah so I like actually put it in these little uh cubes I guess you could call them so what happens with the cheese is in instead of the rice you know just fully melting like a shredded cheese and it's just being cheesy this actually gives you these little pockets so as you're eating you bite into cheese and it's kind of melty kind of warm but it's not just you know one with the rice it's got its own identity and this cheese is so good you want it to have its own identity so now you just mix this around and the heat in the pan is not even on it's just going to help the cheese melt a little bit and while we leave that there we're going to do something else this is just kind of like a fun dinner it's a little more than like a quick 5minute meal but it doesn't take long a lot of little components in this stuff
