Based on a mutual obsession for Chipotle burritos, my friend Jennifer and I decided to try making it all at home. We based most of the food off of the recipes from this site: chipotlefan.com. Because they didn’t have a good beans recipe, we searched around and found these as a good substitute. Finally, I also made some pico de gallo using the Pioneer Woman’s recipe.
Overall, this was a major success. There are a few things we might do differently next time (like scale down the salsa recipes and make the hot salsa a little bit less hot), but it’s safe to say that we had a really good time making and eating all the food, and it might happen again someday. If you’re just feeding a few people, you’ll save a lot of money by just driving over to Chipotle and getting a couple of burritos. But, if you want to have some fun and feed at least 12 people (or fewer with plenty of leftovers), I highly recommend trying out these recipes!
Looks great! I’ve done the make my own Chipotle at home too and it is fun!
