I love Chipotle, but I also love copy-cat-ing them and making this delicious meal for a fraction of the cost.

Instructions

Step 1

To make the Cilantro Lime Rice

Step 2

In a small pot, bring water and rice to a boil. Turn heat to low and let simmer for about 30 minutes, or until water is absorbed.

Step 3

While rice is cooking, blend cilantro, lime juice, garlic and salt with a splash of water in a blender or small bullet.

Step 4

When rice has absorbed all the water, pour cilantro lime mixture over it and stir. Cover and let sit until rice has absorbed the cilantr mixture. Fluff with a fork.

Step 5

In a pot, combine all ingredients. Let simmer 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves and serve.

Step 6

Cut the corn off the ears. I like to stand the ears up in a bowl as I cut it to catch all the corn falling off. Squeeze lime juice over the corn, stir in chopped cilantro, jalepeno and salt.

Step 7

Serve rice, beans, and corn salsa, with any other toppings buffet-style so everyone can make their own bowl how they like it.
