Homemade "Chipotle" Burritos

If you are like me, you have mad love for Chipotle. I love eating there, yet can't always afford to, so I made up my own version. Keep in mind, you can sub chicken or pork for the meat I use. Mike (my husband) loves the meat, so that's what I make.

Homemade "Chipotle" Burritos
makes 6 large burritos
6 burrito size flour tortillas
1 lb stew meat
1 can black beans
1 cup fresh salsa or whatever salsa you like
3/4 cup cilantro lime tomatillo dressing
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups lime cilantro rice
1 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp chipotle chili powder
1 Tbsp ancho chili powder
1/2 Tbsp black pepper
1/2 Tbsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp onion powder
2 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
3 Tbsp sour cream
1 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 cup water

First you are going to take the stew meat and cut all the fat off and chop it into tiny little pieces....

Now you are going to put all that meat into a large bowl. Toss the cumin, paprika, pepper, chili peppers, garlic salt, onion powder, cayenne, and parsley in with the meat. Now you are going to add the oil....

Take your clean hands and rub all that goodness all over the meat. It should coat every little piece. This helps seal in the flavors in the meat. When you are done, it should look like this.....

Go ahead and wash your hands off. Now you are going to take a large skillet and turn the heat on high. When the pan is hot, add the meat and slightly brown....

Now you are going get 1 1/2 cups water....

Go ahead and put that in with the meat....

When that starts to boil, get a can of black beans and drain them....

Now you are going to run them under water....

Make sure your water runs clear. Now add them to the pan with the meat....

Give it a good stir and allow that to come back to a boil....

Once it starts boiling, add a lid. Make sure to stir occasionally.....

Let that stuff cook for about 20 mins on high. There should be a little water left but it should be nice and thick with seasonings and stuff....

Go ahead and remove it from the heat at that point. Now you are going to take a large bowl and add the rice, meat mix, sour cream, lime dressing, and salsa.....

Now you are going to mix it up really well then add the cheese....

Now mix all of that mess up. It looks really gross once it's all mixed up, but it tastes amazing. That is my one complaint about Chipotle burritos because everything is all separated....

Go ahead and warm your tortillas up then spoon some mix into it....

Roll into a burrito and there you go....dinner!!!!!

The mixture will stay good for a couple of days in the fridge. I like that it makes a lot so I can have it for lunch the next day!!!
