While on vacation in Colorado, I found and adored Chipotle. I could easily eat there twice a week, but would not love and adore the increasing waist size. Chipotle burrito bowls are amazing, but heavy on calories. I wanted to try to re-create a leaner version and I think I hit the mark!
I made a flavorful cilantro lime rice without excess oil. The beans are spicy pintos without excess fat/oil/bacon (although….bacon is so good!). I used the grill pan to quick cook some peppers and onions.
Toppings include a pico de gallo, low fat sour cream with cilantro, and shredded reduced fat sharp white and yellow cheddar.
And finally, the pork is shredded pork loin, seasoned and slow cooked all day in the crock pot. It was incredibly tender.
Now all that was left was to build the bowl! I had a little of everything except the tomato stuff. Ew.
Passionate about clean eating, running, and Crossfit! I live in Tuscaloosa where I'm a teacher, wife, kitty Mom, and coordinator of chaos. Through it all, I'm enjoying life....even Tuesdays. Roll Tide!

Goodness that looks tasty. I’m adding that to my list of recipes to try next time I get to cook for hubby. thanks for posting!
I’m from Colorado, and trust me, we love our Chipotle! I love that you attempted to make it a little more calorie/health conscious. I always love eating there, but fear that one meal there is probably a days worth of calories or more! It’s so good though. Thanks for sharing!
Ooo I love chipotle’s burrito bowls! We finally got one built in my city a few months back and its addicting… love to try making my own at home! This looks fantastic!
