Chipotle Burrito Bowls at Home (THM S/E/FP)
Chipotle is a staple in our house. My favorite date night with my kids it to take them to our neighborhood Chipotle, and then next door for cupcakes.
Chipotle is an excellent on-the-go choice, or just for those nights when you can't cook ANOTHER meal, because they use clean, sustainable ingredients. You know when you're eating there, that it's good quality and you can pack in the veggies.
The meat base of these bowls is boneless skinless chicken breast, because it's versatile for FP, S, or E meals. I put together my own spice blend using cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, chipotle chile powder, salt, and pepper. I seasoned my chicken liberally with the seasoning, and rubbed it all together.
I then grilled it using my cast iron grill.
Next we have the pairings! I'll start with Fuel Pull options. Go simple with some grilled onions and peppers (which I did in a dry cast iron skillet with a touch of salt and pepper), lettuce, copycat Chipotle verde salsa, and maybe a dollop of fat free sour cream with a squeeze of lime juice.
E Options: Use the FP base, add some copycat Chipotle cilantro lime rice to the mix with 1/4 c drained and rinsed black beans and some diced fresh tomatoes.
S Options: Use the FP base with 1/4 c of black beans and some copycat Chipotle guacamole, maybe some shredded queso or Monterrey jack cheese, and diced tomatoes.
Really, it's that easy! I was able to throw together a Chipotle-style lunch for my family in about 30 minutes, as I had most of it prepped and ready to go.
Meals don't have to be complicated to taste great. Sometimes all you need are some flavorful, fresh ingredients and a little prep time.
