Homemade Chipotle!


So last night I made homemade Chipotle for my whole family including Randy. :)
It took me two days to make! But soo worth it. This long post made of many different recipes might take me a while to post since I customized everything haha. :)
Tortillas-
I bought 10" standard large tortillas from a Mexican supermarket but any tortillas will suffice. If you can get your hands on some huge 12"-13" tortillas I'd suggest doing it! The tortilla's texture threw off the burrito but it was still great!
Cheese-
One part shredded white cheddar cheese, two parts shredded monterey jack cheese. Mix well.
Sour cream-
12 oz. Daisy sour cream plus 1 tablespoon water. Combine with a whisk over very low heat on a stove top. Keeping whisking until you get a thin, creamy texture. Then take off heat & serve.
Rice-
I tried combining a couple methods of rice & it was good, but it definitely could have been better. The rice got mushy. This is what I'd do next time:
2 tbsp oil (canola/vegetable/olive)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp - 1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp- 1 tbsp salt (kosher)
2 cups long grain white rice
4 cups water
As you can see I keep the amount of lime juice & salt a broad range because that's completely preferance. I like a lot of lime. Just add both to taste. Same could go with the cilantro. :)
Bring the rice & water to a boil then bring it down to low & let it simmer covered for 15-20 minutes. Turn off the heat & let the rice steam & fluff for 5-10 minutes. Remove the rice from the pot & put it in the mixing bowl. Add the oil & everything else to the rice & mix fully.
Enjoy :)
Chicken-
Beans-
Guac-
2 Hass Avocados
1/3 of a Jalapeno pepper, seeded, and minced
1/4 of a red onion, finely chopped
2+ heaping Tablespoons of Cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 of a lime, juiced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Combine all of the ingredients into a bowl, and mash together until smooth. Add additional lime juice, cilantro or salt to taste.
Corn salsa-
6 Ears Sweet Yellow Corn
2 Poblano Chilies
1/2 Red Onion
2 Red (or Green) Jalapenos
1/3 Cup Chopped Cilantro
1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Roast the corn and Poblano chilies on a grill or BBQ and let cool. Cut the corn off the cob. Dice the Poblano chilies, onion, and red jalapenos. Combine all the ingredients and season to taste.
*I used frozen corn, boiled it for like 2 minutes then roasted it in the oven along with the Poblano Chiles.
