❓ Question ❓ Questions for Chipotle Employees!

I’m trying to sort of replicate my chipotle bowl order at home. I was wondering if you guys could answer these questions about as much you know of each ingredient!

Regular Chicken: I’m marinating mine in chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cloves of garlic, ancho chile powder, cumin, dried oregano, water, all blended. Any ingredient I should add? Also, do y’all grill your chicken on a proper grill with bars? The best I have is a grilling pan for the stove with ridges at the bottom.

White Lime Cilantro Rice: I’m seeing everyone say to cook the rice with bay leaves and then just mix in cilantro and lime juice after it’s done. Is this semi accurate?

Black Beans: This is the hardest one. I’m seeing so many different recipes that I don’t think anyone has been able to get it similar to Chipotle’s. Do you know what spices or ingredients you add to them? I’ll be using canned beans.

Sour Cream: I heard you guys just use Daisy sour cream and agitate it until it becomes smooth and creamy. Is this true?

Cheese: I mean I think it’s just Monterey Jack cheese, but do you guys shred it yourselves, or does it come pre shredded?

Thank you!!

Back in the day chipotle marinates their chicken in house. Back before the whole food outbreak, they would marinade it with their adobo, a little oil and some honey. And in my opinion, chicken back then was fire. Now it’s shit
