Healthy Burrito Bowl


Who doesn't like a little Chipotle from time to time?!  Of course, I am human and think their burrito bowls are awesome!! BUT have you noticed their portion sizes???  Good god! And it's not just there, its really everywhere you eat out. The portion sizes is what gets everyone into trouble. You don't REALLY need to eat everything on the plate they serve you, but being human, if it's in front of you and it tastes the way it does, most people don't have the control to stop when they are full. At least at home, you have more control of the serving size put in front of you and have control of the amount of oils that are used in your food. Try this delicious burrito bowl recipe... and stay away from the fattening restaurant meals (OUT of this ARIZONA HEAT!!!).
