Making The Chipotle Burrito Bowl At Home | But Better

A burrito bowl should and could be something special. Tender beef barbacoa, the best rice, and all the ingredients to make the perfect homemade bowl.

Do I have Chipotle in my country? No. Am I still going to watch and enjoy every minute of this? Hell yeah.

After hearing your intro say “one of the few places I’ll eat and I don’t hate it”…. You should do a video where you review/make the items that you WOULD eat from chain restaurants or fast food places! Your guilty pleasures, if you will

I worked at chipotle for like 3 months and didn’t hate it, I was actually kind of impressed by the food quality for like a chain/fast food place. I’m sure it varies a lot by location but the one I worked at was pretty good.

As someone who worked as a cook at chipotle a few years ago. The beans are come prepared in a bag. All we really do is heat up the bag and the season to taste. Same for the barbacoa, carnitas and sofritas. With all that being said, chipotle tastes amazing lol, especially if you find a store that gives large portion sizes!

The amount of energy involved in preparing this just convinced me to go to chipotle 😂

We need a” but quicker “ series, when time is more of value than money but you still want good food

In Japan we have similar dishes called "Taco Rice" but I've always wanted to making good burrito bowls because we don't have Chipotle here! Thanks Josh - I love all your videos!

About the beans: As someone who works at Chipotle, yeah our quality control is not that good bc sometimes/most times the grill person doesn’t care about following the right measurements. So they probably added too much citrus juice to that batch. Also it really depends on if you get a fresh batch of food. Freshly made food changes everything

I made the pinto beans yesterday and I can honestly say, those are the best beans I've ever had. Absolutely spot on recipe and I will be using it forever more. Thank you for posting it.

This dish is amazing!!! I tried it this past weekend and all of the family loved everything about it. This is a new favorite menu added to our home.

A few things that I'd recommend (that I don't see many people doing while cooking beans): You can soak them in water + a little bit of vinegar for like 15 minutes, changing the water and washing it (just like what you do with the rice) in this time. It makes the cooking go quicker and it removes the natural toxins on the beans, that makes your belly sad.
Also... PRESSURE COOKER FTW. 10-15 mins cooking in a pressure cooker might be just enough. Thank me later.

I’m a manager at Chipotle and have worked at 3 different stores. We do have a lot of options: bowl, burrito, soft tacos, crispy tacos, salad, and quesadilla. Kind of like Taco Bell where it’s all the same ingredients just packaged a little differently lol. I do hate that it’s officially called a “burrito bowl” and not just “bowl”. The pinto beans were probably too sour because the grill cook didn’t measure the citrus juice (a blend of lemon and lime juice) they put into the beans. Before the pandemic, the cooks we’re supposed to taste everything before serving it to the guests. Now with strict mask rules, we can’t just pull down a mask and sample something without having to wash our hands 3 times. It’s faster to 1) not measure, just glug the citrus juice in by eyeball measuring it. 2) to not take the time to taste it and just serve it right away.

It would be strange to see a cook in the back with their mask down eating food. I do my best to make sure my cooks are measuring everything. We want a guest’s experience to be consistent and great each time. I’m so sorry they forgot your guac! 🙈 Thank you so much Josh for this video, I loved it!

Chipotle - weirdly - is one of the most food-allergy friendly places I've found. So we eat there every time we travel. It's never stellar, but also never bad. I also appreciate free guac on vegetarian burrito bowls!!

[meganbrown]

Never thought I'd be laughing along to a cooking video. You bring quality content and food and it's EXTREMELY impressive and then you top it all off, you pull through with that amazing sense of humor!! keep it up, cause I'm definitely a subscriber now!

Who else thought the sour cream and hot sauce was a boiled egg

[alexdobbins]

The beans were probably sour because they put too much citrus juice in. Chipotle adds lemon and lime juice to both the black and pinto beans. Your bowl looks damn beautiful!! Amazing work as always!

May we get a behind-the-scenes vid with what he does with leftovers and extra ingredients? I don't speak for everyone but I would love to watch that.

[matgonzalez]

i really love when you have your team try.the dishes. it’s that little bit of non-chef tasting that reminds me of the smiles on my chef’s faces whenever people couldn’t express how good something was. despite not missing the stress of restaurant life, i miss the hell out of test menus, tastings, and chefs riffing just because it’s a dead Tuesday night with an hour til close.

[dsposableincome]

absolute game changer. i took this recipe and veganized it and i'm in love. thank you so much!!!

[teachingwithglam]
