Well, my husband and I love Chipotle…who doesn't?! So I have been wanting to try my own version. While I know it's hard to compete with his favorite bowl, I had to try.
His response?
Make again!
So, basically for me to reference and share with you lovelies, here are the recipes I used to re-create this tasty dish. Obviously, you can clean it up a bit by using chicken (pork butt is pretty fatty) and the dressing is not "clean" but using it sparingly by drizzling was pretty darn good!
I also did white rice; I normally make myself brown but I admit, I was being lazy. So I'd like to try it out next time around!
I was thoroughly impressed with all three of these recipes that I used.
Honey Chipotle Dressing Copycat Recipe
It made a little more than would fit into here, so you definitely have more than enough!!
Cilantro Lime Rice Copycat Recipe
Pork Carnitas
I will admit I didn't have fresh oranges for the pork, so I just used a bit of orange juice. I loved the smell of all the spices coming together and my house legit smelled like Chipotle. It literally fell apart and I easily removed all the fatty pieces and threw it all back into the sauce for a delicious taste. I did not broil the pork, but maybe I'll try that next time around. I was pretty beat by 8:00pm when I was getting ready to serve dinner, as I made it on Joe's late night.
I also have been looking into rice cookers because they seem really handy and easy to use, and well, those words are right up my alley when I think about life with a newborn and toddler! My hubby loves his rice and I really need to stop buying microwave rice. #ashamed #yaheard
Do you have any copycat recipes to share!?
