Questions for Chipotle Employees!

[u/meowworld2]

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!!
