copy cat dinner #1 chipotle burritos

So I was totally craving alllll the bad stuff today. Doritos, chocolate, beer, pizza, and CHIPOTLE. I got to thinking about it, and decided that there must be a healthier way to enjoy something Chipotle-esque. Here's what I came up with:

For the rice:
Substitute quinoa. Start with 1/2 cup of quinoa, 1 cup of water, about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1 TBSP of lime juice, a dash of chili powder, and a dash of cumin. Put them all into a pot, bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer until the water is evaporated.

For the meat and beans:
While the quinoa is simmering, chop up around 6 oz. of chicken and cook it up in a pan with some taco seasoning (or seasonings of your choice). Throw in some diced tomatoes with chilies, some black beans, and some chopped onion*.

*Feel free to add any extra veggies you want here!

Spoon 1/3 of each mixture into a slice of Flatout flatbread, then top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and a dollop of light sour cream or Greek yogurt. You can also add some fresh corn, salsa, or both!

The burrito I made tonight had 417 calories in it--waaaay less than a Chipotle burrito. It wasn't the same, no, but it was still really satisfying and it killed my craving!
