Have you ever been out to eat at a restaurant, ordered something really good, and thought...I can do this? I think that we all have. My Mom and I are becoming professionals at it. We try this kinda thing all the time with mixed results.
My latest try was the steak burrito bowl from
Chipotle. First of all it is super yummy, it is my favorite lunch (sorry asiago roast beef from
Panera).
The ingredients seem easy on the surface. But, there is alot that goes into this.
The bowl starts out with cilantro lime rice. I've always wanted to try and make this. I kept thinking it would be hard. Here you go. Cook rice. Drizzle with lime juice (about 2 tbsp per 2 cups of rice) add chopped cilantro. Done.
Next come the black beans, or as I like to call them, my new favorite ingredient to cook with!
The meat is next. I went with steak, but you can certainly use chicken (actually you really don't need any meat). I marinated it, for about an hour, in a mix of garlic, honey, chopped green chillies, and cilantro. Then we cooked it on the grill, it smelled wonderful.
Then you add the pico de gallo (tomatoes, onion and cilantro). Easy Peasy. Great on tacos too!
Finally, top with cheese (I used triple cheddar), lettuce and sour cream.
Here is the final product.
It was just as good (better in my opinion, because I made it myself) as the restaurant version. We wrapped up the leftovers as snacks for the rest of the week.
yum, yum, yum......try it yourself!!
Later~
