a couple weeks ago i thought it would be fun to make something different for dinner. I know the kids love chipotle, but there isnt one very close, and its expensive. so i decided to try and recreate it at home. it was a hit and the kids loved it! and it was easy to make also! there are pics of most of the steps, but there are a few simple steps i didnt reach for my camera for (im sorry!)
this recipe would also work if youd prefer to eat it burrito style. just instead of using bowls, place on large flour tortilla and roll up.
comment below if youve ever done anything like this at home and did something different. im always open to suggestions on ways to improve things or just try something different!
enjoy!
