Variations

Skip the meat. Not a fan of meat, or just looking to stretch your budget a little further? Skip the chicken breast entirely and enjoy a veggie bowl. Switch up the protein. If you prefer steak or barbacoa in your Chipotle Burrito Bowls, check out my recipes for Chipotle Steak or Beef Barbacoa for a tasty alternative. Keep it keto. If you’re looking to keep the carbs at bay, skip the portion of the recipe that has you cook the rice in the Instant Pot and simply serve the tasty chipotle chicken over a bed of lettuce and cauliflower rice and top with your favorite low carb approved garnishes.Load it up. If you’re familiar with the fast food Mexican cuisine scene, you know that adding guacamole or queso to your dishes can come at an additional charge. The joys of making these bowls at home is that you can add as much of those extras you want at a fraction of the price that they cost in the restaurant.

What To Serve With Them

These Copycat Chipotle Burrito Bowls are a complete meal packed in one. They’re not the type of main course that you will feel the need to serve a side dish with. However, if you feel like you’re still missing something, here are a few other things that would pair nicely with your next bowl:

How Long Does It Last?

Chipotle Burrito Bowls make a large amount of food and reheat extremely well. In fact, I’ve used this recipe to pack my lunches for an entire work week before. For the best bite, I suggest storing any leftovers in an airtight container and enjoying them within 4-5 days of preparing the dish.
