This made 5 bowls, 3 in the fridge and two in the freezer (tomatoes, guac, and lettuce separate, to be added after reheating!) Not quite as wonderful, and I’d definitely add more beans next time, but worked for me! I attached images of all the items I used if anyone else is interested. I seasoned the peppers and onions (I used two bags) with cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt.

I’ve found that making my own cilantro lime rice really gives it that chipotle ish flavor. Everything else can be cooked however and it will still have that chipotle vibe to it
I wasn’t aware of a boxed version of the lime rice. Ty for sharing!
Ooh, might have to try this!!
Of course the us has flavoured rice…
So put 1 cup of basmati rice in a bowl and start mixing water into it mixing the rice up to rinse off all the starches. The water will be cloudy. Drain the water and basically keep rinsing it until the water becomes clear. Grate some lime zest and add it to the wate and bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Then add your rice. Reduce the temp so the water is at a simmer. Cover with a lid and check after 20 mins. It should be fluffy. Once cooked add a teaspoon of olive oil, a half cup of chopped cilantro and squeeze a half lime into the rice. You can add as much cilantro or lime to taste which is what I do.
Good luck its easy and I couldn’t believe how good it is for how easy it is
Not that it’s necessarily fully trustworthy, but the calculator on Chipotle’s website puts my usual $9 bowl at 645 calories. I don’t get the guac, though, so that probably makes a difference on price and calories. Chicken, beans, rice, red and green chili salsa, and corn.
I love that hot sauce. Sooo spicy!
How is that chicken? I’ve wanted to try it, but the Kroger version was just awful..
