Home Made "Chipotle"

Some time ago I came across a website called Chipotle Fan that lists how to make different Chipotle style meals.  My roommate, Cory, has been wanting to try it for some time, so we finally did.


My burrito bowl consisted of rice, black beans, guacamole, and chipotle style chik'n.

Ingredients:
Chipotle's Basmati Rice
Black Beans (warmed up in sauce)
Chipotle Chik'n (minus ancho chilis)
Chipotle Guacamole

I opted to scoop my burrito bowl with chips.

Verdict:  Pretty close to the real thing and quite tasty!  I'll definitely make it again.

Sweet & Spicy Rice

My roommate and I had a plan to make Bourbon Chik'n tonight, until we realized it had to marinate overnight in the sauce.  We had already started the rice in our rice steamer, and I was starving, so I decided to make something up and fast!

I remembered a spanish rice recipe my friends mom used to make with rice and salsa. and I had just bought an interesting jar of salsa from Walmart that I wanted to try on my burgers.

Sweet & Spicy Rice (makes 1 bowl)
1½-2c White Rice, cooked
¼-½c Peach Pineapple Chipotle Salsa (I used Great Value brand)
Fresh ground pepper to Taste

Cook the rice however you'd like, I used a rice steamer. Mix in the salsa until all the rice is covered and add some fresh ground pepper for an extra kick.
