Cilantro Lime Honey Chicken + Black Bean Burrito Bowl
Making and Sharing Reflection
This recipe required a lot of different steps and recipes combined together. This recipe actually took two day to make. The Spanish Rice and Black beans that we used in the bowl was made the day before, and the Cilantro Lime Honey Chicken was left marinating in the fridge until the next day. On day two my partner and I cut up tomatoes, lettuce, jalapenos, and grated the cheese. We also made homemade tortilla chips that we baked in the oven until they were solid. We reheated the beans and grilled the chicken, then assembled the bowl all together, and topped it off with sour cream and cilantro.
We had another option while making this dish, the other was to make a burrito. We discussed and decided that we wanted to make the bowl instead because we were ahead of time and had enough time to make the chips. I had an image in my head on how the bowl would turn out, and the result carried my expectations.
My partner and I planned different tasks to do so that we all put our attention to the food we were assigned to eat. We worked well together to make a visually appealing and tasty dish.
Core Competency Reflection
- My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include…
I read over the instructions on the recipe and write down tools and devices I will need to use in the kitchen. When it is time to start cooking, I like to have every tool set out in front of me so that I can see what to use and keep the workplace tidy before starting to grab ingredients.
2. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to…
I try to initiate conversations and group discussions to decide on what steps to divide to ensure that everybody knows what they are going to work on. This also helps break the ice between my partner and I so that we can work, and not be hesitant to ask each other things while we work together.
3. I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see…
When the group comfortably has conversations with each other, and help each other out with tasks without being asked to. It is a kind gesture that I appreciate so I try to do it too.
4. A goal I have for myself moving forward, and something that I want to improve is…
Manage my time better and create a work schedule to complete my work. I think that I can be more focused in a quiet environment like a cafe or library. I often hand in my work late and fall behind because of it, so I think changing the way I work will affect my work habits positively.
