Now I can't take credit for this amazing recipe.. my sister-in-law (Allie Fager) her dad is a wonderful chef and told us this recipe that he put together. This is sooo good, and my husband LOVED it!! :) It's super easy, it's cheap, and healthy for you. So here is the lovely Home made Chipotle Recipe..
What you will need:
2 Cups Rice
1 Tbs Lime Juice
1 bunch cilantro
4-5 chicken breasts diced (i think it's easier to dice the chicken before you cook it, makes the cooking process quicker); or thin sliced steak
1 Tbs Veggie Oil
1 pkg taco seasoning
Salsa
Shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar) whichever you prefer
1 diced onion
6-8 Roma tomatoes
1 Big can Pinto Beans or Black Beans (this way you can have leftovers for more meals)
Tortillas (if you want a burrito)
Sour cream
Avocado
- Make rice, add the 1 Tbs of lime juice to your water and cook. After the rice is done, add the cilantro and stir.
- After you dice the chicken put 1 Tbs Veggie oil in your pan, add the pkg of taco seasoning, and add a little bit of salsa (just enough to cover the chicken, or enough to your liking), then cook the chicken fully.
- Open your can of beans and drain the juice, and put the beans in a bowl, add the remaining juice from your chicken and season your beans with it, then warm it up in the microwave.
- Cut tomatoes and onion and mix them together in a bowl.
- Once your chicken is cooked just start layering :)
Rice, Beans, Chicken (or steak), tomatoes & onions, sour cream, cheese, avocado, etc...
When I made this we had plenty of leftover rice, beans, and tomatoes and onion to last us a few more meals.. I had to make more chicken because we love chicken. Just depends on how much chicken you want in your chipotle :)
Serving size 4-6
Enjoy !!! :)
