Chipotle Mexican Grill is an American chain of fast casual restaurants in the United States. I would like to replicate the Chipotle Bowl style of recipe and enjoy eating the restaurant style food at home . It is very easy to prepare . I request you all to try this recipe and please do comment below, if any suggestions and compliments . Thank you !
