Above is Tiny's bowl. It consisted of hand torn romaine lettuce, diced tomato, grilled steak, black beans, corn, cilantro lime rice, shredded cheese (he wanted mozzarella), freshly made guacamole and a light drizzle of Italian dressing.
Above is my bowl. I had a base of lettuce and diced tomato, topped with grilled steak, black beans, cilantro lime rice, queso fresco, freshly made guacamole and a drizzle of Italian dressing.
It was super easy. I started the rice first. (Picture of homemade cilantro lime rice below.)
While the rice was cooking I made the guacamole and let it set in the fridge. I diced the tomatoes, heated up the beans, added the ingredients to the cilantro lime rice to flavor it, and heated up the steak. Then I ripped up the lettuce and assembled our bowls. Totally cheap, especially since we used last night's leftover steak.
You could use any sides you want. I checked out the Chipotle website and the stuff they use is pretty basic:
*lettuce
*tomato
*grilled steak, grilled chicken or barbacoa (I have a recipe for their barbacoa that I am dying to try!)
*pinto or black beans
*cilantro lime rice (they usually have a choice between white and brown)
*corn (you can pan roast your corn, it adds an amazing flavor to salads and other dishes!)
*cheese
*guacamole
*sour cream
*salsa
Throw your lettuce and tomatoes in a bowl, and top with whatever toppings you like to personalize your own Chipotle bowl. This would be totally fun for a family night or a party! You could have a "Chipotle bar"! This came out delicious and was well worth making it at home.
