Homemade Chipotle Bowl Recipe.

Today is day 14 of my Chipotle cleanse and I gotta say, this sucks. I really really want Chipotle!!! It doesn’t help that it’s a 5 minute drive from my home. I’m sorry Chipotle for ignoring you

So since I’m craving Chipotle and I haven’t done a food post in over a month, here is my recipe on how to create a vegan Chipotle bowl. Side note: This is what I usually get at Chipotle

You Will Need:

• 1/4 c. Rice
• 1/2 Lime
• 1/4 c. Black Beans
• 1 firm Tofu
• 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup of chopped onions
• 3 tablespoons Chili Powder
• Cayenne Pepper
• 1 Tomato
• 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
• Dried oregano
• 1 Tablespoon of dried oregano
• Handful of chopped lettuces

Chipotle Guacamole:

• 1 Ripe avocado
• Red onion
• Garlic Salt
• Jalapeno
• Lime

Step 1: Rice

I have a rice cooker so I cooked 1/2 cup of white rice. Once it’s cooked, put it to the side and drizzle some lime juice and some salt. Then mix it throughly. Once that’s done, I scooped out 1/4 cup of rice into a bowl.

Step 2: Black Beans

Open a can of black beans, and drain the juice. I like to rinse mine with water because I don’t like that filmy taste. I scooped out a 1/4 cup of beans and put it in the bowl with my rice.

Step 3: “Sofritas”

From looking at Chipotle‘s website, Sofritas has: tofu, onions, green bell pepper, garlic, chipotle pepper, cumin, dried oregano, and tomato. I don’t have green bell peppers or cumin but I have the rest!

When you cook tofu, you want it to be dry; make sure to drain it and pat it down with a paper towel.

Next, you’re going to crumble it up. Place the tofu crumbles with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a medium hot pan. Grab a 1/4 cup of chopped onions and put that in your mixture too.

While that’s cooking you will need your tomato, chili powder, garlic, cayenne pepper, and oregano. I blended my tomato and minced garlic in a blender. You are going to pour the mixture into the pan with the tofu.

I put 3 tablespoons of chili powder in the pan; if you’re wondering why, it’s because I winged it. Sprinkle dry oregano and cayenne pepper for taste. I like my mixture hot, so I added quite a bit of cayenne pepper.

Step 4: Lettuce

Grab your head of lettuce and start chopping. Top off your bowl with lettuce

Step 5: Guacamole 

I used Chipotle’s guacamole recipe. Did you know Chipotle has their Guacamole recipe online? After you make your guac, put a spoonful on top.

And that’s it! The good thing about making your own chipotle is controlling the portion size. You can also put whatever you want into your bowl;  you can add more guac without paying an extra $1 something. I know I’m missing cilantro, but I am not a huge fan of it. If you want Cilantro, add it to your rice and the guacamole.
