Per my husbands request, we had "Chipotle at Home" for lunch on Sunday.
- Totally embarrass yourself and stop at your local Chipotle and ask for some bowls for your Sunday lunch guests. Tell yourself that your husband supports them occasionally over lunch hour so surely they won't mind giving a handout.
2. Marinate Chicken Overnight
1 (2 ounce) package dried ancho chiles, soaked overnight
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons cumin powder
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
chopped
6 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 red onion, quartered
1/4 cup vegetable oil
I didn't use the dried peppers and I only used a few drops of oil to thin it out a bit. I just blended the rest of the ingredients and marinated the chicken overnight. Was a good amount of marinade for 7-8 chicken breasts.
3. Grill chicken, chop into pieces
4. Fix array of toppings
Rice-Fajita Vegetables-Black Beans-Pinto Beans (I need to learn how to fix these. eep)-Lettuce-Cheese-Sour Cream-Tomatoes-Corn Salsa-Guacamole
5. Enjoy leftovers for lunch the next day!
I can't do Chipotle chicken, it's too spicy for me but maybe I can try this homemade version and cut down on the peppers. I always choose the carnitas, bought some at Trader Joe's that just needed to be shredded and made burrito bowls at home. I bet they would have tasted better in a Chipotle bowl. :o)
