"I'm cheap and I don't like to go places". 🤣 my new life motto.
Mine too
Ditto !!!
Same😂
We need it in a shirt😂😂😂
This is me too!
“I’m cheap and I don’t like going places.”
Can totally relate lmao I’m gonna have to try this out
I guarantee it's healthier, lower in sodium, etc, too!
A friend brought "bean salsa" to a gathering recently and it was so simple and delicious. Cheap too. Black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, diced red onion, lots of cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Soooo good with tortilla chips, but honeslty id eat it kt with a spoon too lol. No cooking or heating necessary
We make this and serve with a side of jalapeño cornbread! We call it blackbean salad, and it's a staple summer meal in our house. Refreshing and delicious!
All you have to do is follow the salsa recipe in this video but add a can of drained corn and a can of rinsed and drained black beans. Easy peasy
For my fellow vegetarians - it's pretty easy to make a dupe of the Chipotle sofritas with shredded tofu and blended up chipotle peppers in adobo sauce from the can.
Do you press the tofu first? I always have such an issue getting the tofu to shred without it just falling apart haha maybe I should try freezing, thawing, pressing and then shredding? 🤔
@@courtneya.1849 I would definitely advise pressing it first. I also use super firm tofu rather than firm, it usually holds together better.
Oohh that sounds great, I'm always looking for affordable veggie protein options. This is right up my alley, thanks for sharing!
I’m not vegetarian but wanted to bring something light to a Friendsgiving once and everyone was obsessed with the sofritas I made!
To add to 'I'm cheap and I don't like to go places' I'm also 20 miles away from the nearest Qdoba/Chipotle so I have to factor in what I'd have to spend on gas. Definitely worth doing at home!
This would be a great series! I know you’ve done copycat foods before but I love this version, especially the cost comparison. There are SO many options!!!
I am also cheap and don't like to go places. i hear you
So delicious! Please make more copycat recipes of fast food, restaurant dupes, etc. My husband and I rarely go out to eat, because of the cost, but copycat recipes are very appealing. Thank you, Rebecca!
Walmart has an amazing dressing in their brand and it is spot on to the Chipotle flavor! It’s great value chipotle ranch. I live to make these too.
Great tip!
Rebecca, for all of the reasons you cited for making meals at home (which I relate to), I have one to add. Making this at home allows us to control the salt and calories, which for me is the biggest bonus. Great video!
Me Too! 😍
I definitely need to try making this for my family of 6!! Going to Chipotle has gotten too expensive for our big family but it's my kids' favorite.
It's so good!
I love this direction in your content! Even if someone feels like this is a lot of work, it's easily modified to fit a person's energy levels. Store-bought guacamole or rotisserie chicken can be subbed in, and it would still come in under the cost of takeout.
I often ask ChatGPT to suggest a fast-food inspired meal plan for my husband and me, and recipes like this sound better than what suggestions it gives me. Keep them coming!
While a bit different from the normal content that I'm use to seeing from you, BUT I quite like the style of it. Hope to see more.
For the guac, if you have some saran wrap, you can also press that to the surface to keep it from browning if you don't have a small enough container!
I have a hard time with food prep I love your videos because they motivate me to not only food prep they help me shop on a budget and I'm even thinking of helping cook dinners for the elderly at my church . Your videos are great love them ! ❤
This was an awesome video. I have seen other home made chipotle bowls and most of those videos get complicated with all the ingredients they use. It’s nice to finally see a video that is so easy to replicate and you don’t have to add a ton of different spices. Definitely going to make this.
Glad it was helpful!
I make these often and save a ton because I'm allergic to avocados.
I also make much smaller portions so I save there but not because I want to but because I'm disabled and use a rollator so that means 1200 calorie diet 😭 However, I might have to stop being lazy and actually try marinating the chicken this way. Yummm❤ Thanks so much!!!
Again Rebecca you cease to amaze me w/your recipes. I REALLY enjoy cooking myself BUT i do find when you make it yourself you know is in ypur meal & you can control the seasonings used. Keep up the GREAT recipes. Love watching your videos❤😊
This looks delicious. I am not sure how much my Mexican daughter-in-law will be impressed by it, but I’m pretty sure my son will like it anyway.
AND their portion sizes at that almost $13 would not be that generous.
Definitely but I didn’t want to mention that specifically, I’m glad it was noticed though :)
Cilantro lime or cilantro garlic rice is so easy and delicious! I learned this when my friend was bringing me bunches of cilantro every week. Lol!
I appreciate the math and price comparisons! It looks absolutely amazing, I love the idea of using the packet to season the chicken!! Thank you🩷🩷
It's definitely all about what people like to do vs. what they want to spend time and/or money doing. I love cooking, so making my own meals is fun, but I also love picking up a quick meal here and there while I'm out and about, and that's worth it too! Great recipe!
Love this!
And your portion size is so generous!
I have been missing going to Chipotle. I feel my cravings being soothed after my next shopping trip ❤️
Thank you!!
I’ve been doing this one for quite awhile. Love burrito bowls! I don’t care for guacamole or sour cream and add some corn salsa when I make it. The best part is being able to customize!
This is my new favorite video! Thank you for making me hungry. I didn't know about the chipotle seasoning packet. I will make this too for all the same reasons. You are the best!
Very nice Rebecca.
Glad you like it!
I couldn't believe how much a burrito, a drink, and some chips with guac were from Chipotle last time I went there! I was hungry though, and was in a pinch for lunch so I gritted my teeth as I paid $31.04 for an average tasting burrito and chips that were so salty I couldn't eat them. :/ Don't think I'll be returning! Your burrito bowl looks amazing, though!
I feel that, I’ve been making them at home for over a month now and I can no longer justify the price mentally of buying it at full price
"i like to cook, i'm cheap, and i don't like to go places" LOL, relatable!
Accidentally clicked the notification and I’m glad I did, now I know what’s for dinner 💕
Hope you enjoy!
This looks sooo good! 😋
These look awesome.
If you keep a few pits/seeds from some of the avocados and put them on the top of the guacamole it helps prevent browning. I will also get some cling wrap and lightly press down on the cling wrap to cover the guacamole and press around the edges of the bowl then put a lid on the bowl/ container it really keeps the guacamole from browning and tastes super freshly made! For a little extra you can squeeze some lime over the top of the guacamole before the cling wrap, just depends on how much lime you like to taste
I cut recipe in half and made 3 bowls. Came out great love this meal. Thanks for your video. 😊
Nice. Looks easy and delicious 😊 Will give this a try.
Looks good, thank you for sharing.
Well... now. I want that. 😂
Great recipe! Good tag line. I immediately started humming the song Cheap and Cheerful.
Thanks for the guac storage tip!
Never heard anyone say "I'm cheap," with so much pride 😂😂
I would most definitely do this to save money. Love to cook and the ease of mixing and matching for nachos or burrito if you change your mind throughout the week. Unmatched ❤️❤️ thanks for this!
Thank you for this recipe!! I will definitely be double this, my husband and I love Mexican, and all the freshness you add too them!! I appreciate your channel so very much!! ❤
All your food looks soooooo delicious. I'm drooling. I don't even think Chipotle is this level of quality anymore.
This is great, thank you! Looks dang close to the original. 🥰 :-*
Cooking at home results is more quantity and you get to control quality also. $12-14 per tax for 1 at Chipotle vs less than $6 at home. Absolutely that adds up the savings! ❤
I’m so happy to watch this video. I love your videos . I am going to Aldi to purchase the ingredients, I will make this for my family today ❤😊
Looks great. Ill have to make. Thanks Rebecca
I'm currently eating nachos 😊😋
I made this and it came out delicious. Thank you for the recipe ☺️
OMGS,I LOVE YA!!!!
I'm so serious 😍
I went and got everything that I didn't have. Which pretty much was everything but the Rice and beans. Hahaha.
The beans were a Blessing from some different food banks that I had saved and not used yet. But I used 3 or 4 cans of black beans (I forget) and then mixed in 2 cans of cabin so beans and seasoned them myself. I measured everything even the meat after cooking by ounces and then Divided by 12 since I made Twice as much of the chicken. But I only Use 1 packet of chipotle seasoning mix Because we don't like things too spicy especially my 13 year-old. And it turned out great!!!
So 12! Talk about a HUGE SAVINGS. Ours also cost less because our chicken Surprisingly for southern California cost less per pound. LOL. We don't eat out because we can't afford it in the first p!ace. We have only been there once because someone else was buying. But it makes this Momma feel so good to be able to give those copy cat meals that they Loved with out the cost. This Chipotle bowl and a Copy Cat KFC bowl I make are there FAVs now. Hahaha Thank You!!!!
Mmmmm looks so yummy! 🤩😋
In our area two bowls with chips is around $45
I wish I could like this twice ❤❤🔥🔥
Putting an avocado pit back in your guacamole containers will really help it to stay nice and green in storage.
LOVED this video! Especially the price comparison. More please 😊
Cheap sounds better 😂
I have to try this!! 😋
I got those Cuisinart knives as a gift and they have no business being that sharp. Im in LOVE
Success! The link works. Thank you for going above and beyond in making it as easy as possible for us to access your wonderful and helpful content.
Love this! I’m definitely inspired to try this and save my money. My family loves Chipotle 😊
That looks yummy 😋 Thank you for doing this video. Now I know how to make them. This recipe is great for a family without the expensive restaurant. Great Job 😃
My pleasure 😊
Great video ! It looked delicious, easy and nice to have more than 1 serving. Extra nice having the price comparison. Great job 👏
Not bad! But an avocado is $2.49 locally today and cost prohibited.
Avocados by the bag are usually cheaper per, in my experience
Not sure where you live but I get a bag of 6 for $4.50 and otherwise they are 0.89 each
That’s a great Moto! I don’t have a Chipotle where I live, so this would totally be worth the effort!
Looks so good! Thanks for sharing I am going to make these soon.
Plus, your bowls had more generous toppings! Thanks for this idea!
Definitely! I wanted to beat chipotle haha
Those look so good I've got to try those. Yum
Just can't eat raw onion. 😅 sounds delicious. 😊
"I like to cook, I'm cheap and I don't like to go places" - I don't even live in the USA but somehow we are twins lol!! 😄
I might have to do this as soon as the stores open in a few hours!
Yeah, me too! Looks amazingly delicious 😋! Love how you explain every detail! Awesome video 😊❤
Thank you 😋
So worth it and taste better 😋
Great video!
Wow
I'm the exact same!!
Girl you are not cheap but smart ty ❤
Sometimes I don't like to go places too. Great vid
This looks delicious I can’t wait to make this 👍🏾
Awesome!!!!!👏
Good video! I like the....."I'm cheap and don't like to go places"! You should make it a t shirt 😂
Loves it
I thought you did a great job! I love to make take out foods at home, sooooo much cheaper and you can make more than one or two servings.
I love a Chipotle bowl, but I refuse to pay their ridiculous prices! Will certainly be trying this out!
I love that motto it is me for sure
I save all cilantro for the garbage can. 😂 Yes, I’m one of those! 😅 Everything else, 👍!
Looks so delicious! DId she say how long the guac lasts? I wonder if it can be frozen.
They look great!
Yum
That looks seriously delicious lol I'm starving now thanks a lot 😂
This looks ridiculously good.😋
You got me thing how can I do this keto on a budget!
Chipotle WHO???!!!!! ❤❤❤
🥰👍
I stink and love this video on so many levels. I was able to link through your short so that is working well.❤🎉❤🎉😂😂
What is the knuckle trick for measuring water and rice? I’ve never heard that.
You use your finger to measure the water by adding just enough water so that the level of the water hits the first knuckle on your finger
Birds of a 🪶 feather. Of course I'll do this. We loooove spicy here.😊 thanks🌶🧄🧅🧄🌶🧄🧅🧄🌶🧄🧅🧄🌶🧄🧅🧄🌶🧄🧅🧄
