Ummm. YES.

Posted by mmlebaron on

I. Love. Chipotle. I believe I have shared this on here before. It is just SO fantastic. It’s delicious and it’s fairly healthy so you just FEEL good when you’re done eating. Unless you go for their burrito’s of course, which are just freakishly fatty. I personally get the burrito bowl every time. I have recently discovered that I am not the only one who loves this dish because I have stumbled upon several different recipes now. And tonight I made a bowl. And it was PHENOMENAL. I could have eaten 2. Or 3. If my first bowl wasn’t as large as my stomach… Anyway. I will be making this recipe again. For definite. And you should too.
