Chipotle Mexican grill is famous for tacos, burrito bowl and tortilla wraps. Evey ingredients are put to your bowl in front of you according to your taste and spiceyness. We really liked this dish and it becomes our favorite lunch spot. As it is very simple and easy and healthy full of vegetables. So i thought to prepare this dish at home and it came awesome. :) Here is my version of Mexican veg burrito in Chipotle style...
Ingredients
- Cooked Rice - 1 Cup
- Capsicum - 1 cup chopped
- Onion - 1 cup chopped
- Tomato - 1 cup chopped
- Palak/ Spinach - 1/2 cup chopped
- Lettuce - 1/2 cup chopped
- Kidney Beans or soya bean boiled - 1 cup

- Lemon
- Cilantro/ coriander leaves - 1/2 cup chopped
Preparation:
Mexican Salsa or Pico de gallo
Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan and add tomato, onion, jalapeno, spinach, salt & pepper and saute it nicely To make it more tasty I added Garlic powder, Thyme & Rose merry
Lemon Cilantro Rice
Add cooked rice in a bowl and squeeze half lemon and 1/2 cup cilantro/coriander leaves mix everything well and keep aside until use. or (You can use the rice as per your flavors. Either use plain rice or lemon cilantro mix rice or cumin seeds/jeera rice. Here I used jeera rice)
Baked Beans
Cooked baked beans till soft and tender. Usually in chipote they use kidney beans as I did't have the stock at home, I used black chana/bengal gram instead. It tastes good too.
Baked Corn
If it is frozen corn keep outside for 5 mins and then keep it in a microwave for 4 to 5 mins.
Oven Roasted Bell Pepper or Capsicum
Cut the capsicum into long strips. sprinkle salt of pepper and keep it in a oven for 7 to 8 mins or till crisp
To Serve:
Take a bowl add jeera rice or lemon cilatra rice, baked beans, salsa, lettuce, extra spinach, corn, roasted bell pepper and mix well and enjoy the burrito. If you are a cheese lover add a shredded cheese on top.
To make it more spicer add dash of a tabasco pepper sauces and sequeez lemon on top for the ultimate taste.
