Mexican Burrito Bowl

Mexican Burrito Bowl

This Mexican burrito bowl is the perfect at home Chipotle inspired meal. Like who is totally not in love with Chipotle?!

Once I figured out how to order a macro friendly Chipotle, it quickly became one of my favourite lunch places on days I didn’t take in a prepped meal for lunch. I watched countless youtube videos on “What I Eat in a Day” and so many social media fitness stars incorporated a Chipotle into their diet.

In essence Mexican food is quite healthy, the secret is to avoid the full on burrito and go for the healthy insides.

Most of the time I go for the salad bowl with a bed of lettuce, fajita peppers, grilled chicken, black beans and salsa, sometimes I will do a little bit of avocado mash.

The sad thing is that Chipotle is near my work, so if I crave a Mexican macro friendly meal at home, I am pretty much at a loss. So I started experimenting with Mexican flavours and trying out my own little Mexican burrito bowl at home.

It took a few attempts to get the balance of flavours right but once I mastered it, I have to say I am really impressed with myself. My love for a good Chipotle is big but I do love my version more because its cooked fresh. and I know exactly all the ingredients that go in, making it more healthy.

I usually serve this Mexican Burrito Bowl in a bowl to get that Chipotle feel but for the purpose of this recipe photo I decided to lay it out on a plate so y’all can see everything!
