This meal is one that I have been craving since I arrived back in Victoria following winter break. My mom makes something similar – and has told me that it is very simple to make. I am also a frequent customer at Chipotle (too frequent, honestly), and I have been wanting to try to make something like it at home for a while now – and this is where is meal came in.
If you were to click on the link and view the recipe I used, you would see that I did not follow it to a tee. For one, I did not make burritos (more on this later). Additionally, while I used most of the ingredients that they did, I did remove bell pepper – just because of personal preference. However, I did my best to follow their steps and most of the ingredients were there.
Now, the process of completing this recipe was honestly very simple. As I have stated previously, I am not much of a chef. However, this only took me a total of 45 minutes and I didn’t run into any challenges…until I tried to turn my bean-corn concoction into burritos. The tortillas that I had purchased were very small, and I was unfortunately unable to successfully build a burrito. However – I ended up creating burrito bowls and the following day I placed a tortilla under the stuffing (at the bottom of the bowl) which was delicious!
Here is the first bowl I made (without the tortilla). I added rice, cheese, avocado, and sour cream to my mixture:
My Personal Ratings:
The Taste – 8.5/10
This was absolutely delicious! I made enough to give me a week of leftovers and I truly never became tired of it. While I will tweak it slightly the next time I make it (more lemon juice, maybe make salsa as well?), I found this to be incredible. It was a lovely change for the usual 3 meals I make (I’m barely exaggerating), and I will definitely make it again soon!
The Process – 9/10
This was very quick and very easy! I can definitely see myself frequently, because not only did it take me very little time – but it also gave tons of leftovers. Additionally, none of the ingredients were expensive or hard to find, and the wiggle-room in the measurements meant that I didn’t have to waste anything. While I struggled with the burrito wrapping aspect – I enjoyed it as a bowl just as much as I would have as a burrito.
Overall – I loved this and I would highly recommend to anyone who was short on time but was looking for a delicious and satisfying meal.
This looks delicious love it!
