I have made this multiple times and it always comes out great. I remember the first time I made it, my wife looked at me after taking a bite and said, “ you nailed that s*it”. Don’t know what the other negative comments are about, maybe poor execution.

I was really looking forward to being able to make this at home but it was a disappointment.
It did not taste anything like Chipotle’s.
The search goes on…

wish I had the recipe for the dressing on chicken salads.
=)
Expensive? about "10.00" and only if you don’t have on hand the chile ancho, chicken, mexican oregano and cumin.
I always have all those ingredients at home =p

Combined with the rice recipe (to make a chicken bowl) and all the other toppings I normally get at Chipotle, this tasted exactly like Chipotle! Thanks for the recipe! My husband couldn’t even taste the difference. Yes, it can get expensive, but if there is not a Chipotle around, it is definitely worth it! 🙂
