Welcome to day TWO of Mexican food week.  If you missed day one, here is the recipe for my Chicken, Bacon and Ranch Stacked Enchiladas from yesterday.
 
My husband and I simply LOVE Chipotle restaurant and our favorite thing to order is the burrito bowl.  I created them at home this week and I’m so proud of this recipe!  They were so easy to make and tasted very similar to the original and amazingly delicious Chipotle bowls… and even my husband agreed (sometimes he can be a tough customer 😉 ).  The chicken turned out super tender and was seasoned perfectly to our taste.
 
This is a great fix for a Chipotle craving and has all of our favorite flavors, including the cilantro lime rice that I posted in the past.  I used homemade guacamole on to top off these bowls which made them even better.  This will go into my regular menu rotation!

P.s. I forgot to add the cheese before I took my pictures, but you get the point! 🙂
