Ste 102 Calabasas, CA 91302 Chipotle Chicken Marinade: 4 cloves of garlic,finely minced 1 tsp of cumin 1 tsp of kosher salt ½ cup orange juice 1 tsp of mexican oregano 2 tsp chipotle in adobo sauce, pureed ¼ cup of olive oil 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs mix the marinade together then add add the chicken. Let it sit for at least an hour to overnight - the longer, the better so this can definitely be made ahead of time. Cilantro Lime Rice: 1 cup of white basmati rice, rinsed and drained 2 cups water ½ tsp salt Dash of cumin Lime peel In a medium-sized pot, add some olive oil and toast up the rice until it’s slightly golden brown. By toasting it up, you lock in the starch, keeping the rice from getting mushy and it also gives the rice a nutty taste. Pour in 2 cups of water or broth if you’d prefer, ½ tsp of salt, a dash of cumin, and a small piece of lime peel. No white parts, just the greens so it releases the lime oil into the rice and gives it a better flavor. Let it come to a boil until the water is fully absorbed then close the lid and let it sit for another 15 minutes to steam and finish cooking. Salsa and Guacamole: 1 large, ripe tomato ¼ of a large red onion 2 cloves garlic, minced Cilantro chopped cumin chili powder Salt juice from half a lime 1 ripe avocado It sounds like we’re making alot but the great thing about salsa and guac is that they contain very similar ingredients, so I can basically prep everything and make them at the same time. For the salsa, we’re going to chop and dice a large ripe tomato. Add it a bowl, then we chop up ¼ of a large red onion, just take half of it and save the other half for the guac. A garlic clove, minced. Cilantro, chopped, and ¼ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp chili powder, a dash of salt, and juice from half a lime. Mix it up For the guac, add the onions we’ve already chopped, a garlic clove finely minced, cilantro, lime juice, ¼ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp salt, and Mix mix mix. I usually add tomatoes teo my guac, but since we already made the salsa, we can just leave it out. Pinto Beans: ¼ cup Chopped onions ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 can pinot beans liquid Chili Powder Cumin In a small pan, we add some olive oil and quickly cook some chopped onions and some chopped green bell peppers until it’s fragrant. Add a clove of garlic, then a can of pinto beans with some of the liquid. Add a dash of chili powder and cumin, and once the beans are warmed through, it’s done. Strawberry Agua Fresca: 1 cup of washed and hulled fresh strawberries 1 cup of water juice from half a lime 1 tbsp honey Add everything to a blender, whirl. Serve over ice and garnish with a wedge of strawberry and a mint. Fancy and refreshing! Grilling the Corn and Chicken: Okay so back to the burrito bowl, let’s grill! I had the corn salsa but I feel like it’ll get lost in all of the same flavors, so I’m doing a different approach - I have some melted butter already to go, and I’ll just place an ear of corn on the hot grill and as it’s cooking brush on the melted butter to give it that smokey buttery flavor and a sprinkle of chili powder. Now the the chicken! I’ll grill each side for 4-5 minutes until it’s cooked through and let it cool off a bit before cutting it into small chunks. Assembly: We have all our honeysuckle cafe burrito bar - let’s build our chicken burrito bowl. Here is our cooked rice, add some cilantro and a final squeeze of lime IF you want it more tart. Because we cooked it with lime, it is already infused. Grab a scoop of our cilantro lime rice onto a bowl and to the side of it, I’ll add some chopped romaine lettuce. Layer on our grilled chicken, our grilled corn that I’ve cut into smaller kernels, pinto beans, salsa, guacamole, a small dollop of sour cream, and finally some shredded cheese. This soo good. This is a chipotle chicken burrito bowl. Everyone I know loves this bowl, but today I’m going to show you how to make it from scratch, maybe even better but definitely dang delicious. 00:00 Intro 00:11 Trying Chipotle's Bowl 01:02 The Marinade 02:15 Cilantro Rice 03:09 Guac & Salsa 04:22 The Beans 05:07 Quick Refreshment 06:05 Grilling 06:39 Build that Bowl! © 2022 Honeysuckle® All Rights Reserved.
