Have you ever wanted to make Chipotle at home? Below I have listed recipes and instructions on how to make my favorite Chipotle combo AND this version happens to be vegan! Everyone has their special order so I have also linked some great recipes for the protein and salsa options that I did not make. My order consists of the following components:

1. Cooked Rice

2. Pico de Gallo

3. Guacamole

4. Cooked Vegetables

5. Black Beans

To assemble, create a bed of rice and top with beans, veggies, pico de gallo, and guacamole (in that order)!

Cilantro Lime Rice:

1 cup brown rice

2 ¼ cups water

¼ cup olive oil
