These chicken burrito bowls taste just like ones you’d get from the Mexican grill Chipotle. Once you discover how to make these at home, you’ll never have to eat out again.

Chipotle Inspired Chicken Burrito Bowls

Let me start off by talking about Chipotle, a Mexican grill offering burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, and salads. Need I say more? Mexican food is one of my all-time favourites with dishes full of fibre, protein, and iron.

My family and I hardly ever eat out, but when we do, it would probably be this place over any fast-food joint. They use real, fresh ingredients right in front of you, therefore making their meals a little pricey. So, I wanted to mimic their chicken burrito bowls right at home.

Chipotle Inspired Chicken Burrito Bowls

I’m telling you right now, this meal is a lot healthier than buying store bought, pre-packaged taco kits, or any Mexican nacho dish with tortillas, chips, and high fat ground beef. Chicken is known for being a top choice because of how lean it is, while providing you with tons of protein. You can also make this dish with steak, if you prefer. It will be just as good!

I’m going to apologize in advance for using white onions in this recipe, since that’s all I had at the time. Red onions will taste the best.

And if you enjoy spicy foods like I do, then you’re sure to love this easy butter chicken recipe that has a real kick. Another recipe with a lot of spice. 

To garnish these chicken bowls, you can add avocados, guacamole, salsa, or sour cream. You can also shred cheddar or cheese of your choice on the top, and add freshly chopped cilantro.

There are so many variations of this dish. Add jalapeños or hot sauce to make it hot hot hot. You can also take out the onions entirely for your kids if they aren’t a fan.

What’s great about burrito bowls is that you can place what you want in your bowl. Less rice? More salad? This is a great way for families with different taste preferences to enjoy a meal together.

The cilantro-lime rice is oh-so-delicious and will get the kids eating in no time. Enjoy!
