How do you like yours?
I know, I know, you Ohio readers.
Chipotle is not that big of deal because you have them close.
Ours is an hour away.
On Drew's last field trip he had to pack his lunch, and when I asked him what he wanted, he said, "Chipotle!" The crazy thing is I was so tempted to get one for him because from that moment on I've been craving them.
Sooo, I was pumped to get the mock recipes off of this site. I know it's just a click away, but I'll share them with you.
Chipotle's Chicken Marinade
1 (2 ounce) package dried ancho chiles 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons cumin powder 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped 6 cloves garlic 1/2 red onion, quartered 1/4 cup vegetable oil 4 chicken breasts (6 ounces each) Soak dry chilies overnight in water, until soft. Remove seeds. Add all ingredients except meat in food processor. Puree until smooth. Spread mixture over chicken, or other meats and refrigerate at least one hour, up to 24 hours. After marinating, heat grill to about 400 degrees F, or if cooking inside, heat small amount of oil in skillet or grill pan over high heat. Salt meat to taste (optional), and grill lightly, turning only once, until done. 4 minutes per side of chicken. Chipotle's Basmati Rice Recipe
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter
2 tsp. fresh cilantro
2/3 cup white basmati rice
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Lime
In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occas ionally until melted. Add rice and lime juice, stir for 1 minute. Add water and salt, bring to a full rolling boil. At boiling, cover, turn down to simmer over low heat until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.
Or, you can calculate the calories of your favorite burrito.
P.S. I am not so pumped anymore.
So, even though the 1225 calories disgusts me, I started soaking my peppers tonight. Maybe if I leave off the lettuce....
FYI: Red chiles are definitely not the same as ancho chiles.
FYI: WalMart only carries red.
I'm thinking the red chiles are just a tad spicier.
Maybe my red peppers will burn up, let's say, 1000 calories or so?
