Chipotle Burrito Bowl Recipe
I finally pulled myself out of a 3 week flu stupor to prepare a Mexican food dinner with a Chipotle burrito bowl recipe. Yes, around this home we eat a lot of Mexican, Italian, and Middle Eastern inspired dishes. Every once and a while we will toss in a curry or two to break up the mundane. What can I say? We are just huge fans of salsas, sauces, and mezes!
Creating a copycat recipe for the Chipotle burrito bowl is really not that hard… just some rice, beans, meat and other goodies. But, with those basic ingredients you might want something a little more flavorful than opening a can of this or that. THAT is where I enter the picture with some tasty recipes that you can use to create your burrito bowls. {Or you can just open a few cans of this and that and call it a night.}
From the Chipotle website about their burrito bowls:
Chiptole Burrito Bowl – Served in a bowl, choice of cilantro-lime rice, pinto or black beans, meat (braised carnitas or barbacoa, adobo-marinated and grilled chicken or steak) or guacamole, salsa and cheese or sour cream.
To create your own Chipotle Burrito Bowl at home, use these ingredients for your family to choose from to build your own Chipotle Burrito Bowl:
- Romaine Lettuce
- Crema Mexicana
- Cilantro Lime Rice
- Chipotle Black Bean Recipe
- Guacamole
- Chipotle Corn Salsa Recipe
- Chipotle Restaurant Chicken Recipe
This is a fairly “healthy” recipe since it’s grilled chicken and fresh veggies. Of course the way I make mine adds a bit of fat and calories that I could do without but I can’t resist sour cream. YUM.
Oh and please forgive my not so beautiful photos — it can take up to an hour to stage and photograph a dish and I am still wiped out from the flu.
What is your favorite way to eat a Chipotle Burrito Bowl? I actually enjoy just veggies only and no chicken.
Buster didn’t hang out in the kitchen with me today while I was cooking but Bobbie did enjoy the pepper I gave her. I am not sure how that bird knows when I have jalapeno peppers but she does and “begs” for them.

This meal looks wonderfully laid out. I will have to try it sometime when I have the time, I wonder just how long it takes to make?

Angela

Lisa
That looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it!
April @Pixie Dust Savings
That sounds yummy and pretty healthy with all the veggies!! I agree you got to add sour cream and cheese, but I still consider that healthy since if you buy full fat ones it all real food. 🙂
Norma Doiron @Savvy Biz Solutions
Looks yummy and super fast to put together. I love super-fast! Tee-hee… I’ll be looking at some more in your recipe collection!
Pam
My daughter has always loved the burrito bowls from Chipotle and places like it. Thanks for sharing this recipe so she can make it at home.
Elizabeth Towns
I can’t believe your bird eats jalepeno peppers! When I learned how to make the lime rice from Chipotle, it was on and popping from there. I’m loving the recipe for the corn salsa! Thanks for that. I will be able to step it up a notch for my daughter who has just recently decided that she can eat and does love the burrito from Chipotle. She is a picky eater and if I can make it at home, I will save a lot of money this summer!
Debbie Denny
Oh I want some of this. Yumm!

I am.so going to try this. I’m a big Chipotle fan and eat there at least 4 times a month.that can work out to be very expensive when I’m buying for 6 people. Have to definitely give it a try.
Robyn
Wow, looks like great supper for me.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell
Mmmmm, yes, yes, yes! I LOVE Chipotle and their cilantro lime rice. I just saw signage that they’re building one here and I can’t wait, but in the meantime….thank you!

Hey Billie,
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with the best (for me) Mexican dish Chipotle Burrito. I thought it would be very hard to make this dish at home. You just broke my blind trust.
By the way you talked about the elements but not about the steps. Can you plz give a video link or article where I can get step by step instruction to make this food at home?
Thanks in advance. Keep it up!
