Fajita Veggies Chipotle Copycat Recipes

MEXICAN CHICKEN SALAD (CHIPOTLE COPYCAT RECIPE)

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine the chicken, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
• Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken pieces for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
• Prepare the fajita veggies: To the same pan, add in the olive oil, peppers, onion, oregano, and salt. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and caramelized.
• Prepare the beans: Add the beans, chili powder, cumin, and lime juice to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the beans for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Make the dressing: Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a jar or bowl.
• Assemble the salad: Place 2 heaping cups of salad greens on each plate. Top with chicken, black beans, fajita veggies, and additional toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, pico, and cheese. Drizzle dressing over each salad.

COPYCAT CHIPOTLE VEGGIE BURRITO

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package instructions.
• Once the rice is cooled, add freshly squeezed lime juice, freshly chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
• Wash and chop cherry tomatoes into quarters. Drain canned sweet corn. Peel and finely chop red onion and garlic.
• Mix all chopped ingredients in a small bowl. Add freshly chopped cilantro and olive oil. Stir until combined.
• The EASIEST way to make fajita veggies is in a sheet pan. For detailed steps, top tips, video, and more guidance visit our Fajita Veggies post. However, if we need only 1-2 servings we usually make pan-fried veggies in 5 minutes.
• Peel and slice onion 1/4-inch (4-5 mm) wide. Wash and slice bell peppers also 1/4-inch (4-5 mm) wide.
• Pre-heat a frying pan on medium heat. Add olive oil.
• Once the oil is hot enough add the onion and the bell pepper slices and sprinkle them with fajitas spice mix. Stir to combine and fry them for 5 minutes until they are tender.
• Take a ripe avocado. Cut them in half and turn it with your hands around the seed. Spoon the soft avocado flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with your fork.
• Peel and finely chop the red onion. Squeeze a bit of lime juice. Chop fresh cilantro leaves.
• Add all chopped ingredients plus lime juice and salt to the mashed avocado and mix well.
• For more details, visit our Copycat Chipotle Sofritas recipe.
• Use a firm tofu and press it. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
• Fry thin tofu slices with a bit of olive oil until golden brown. Use a food processor to chop the fried tofu.
• Add all marinade ingredients to a food processor and chop them until chunky.
• Marinate the tofu crumbles for 30 minutes.
• Take a cast-iron skillet or a frying pan as well and heat it over medium heat. If you feel the sauce became too thick at the end of the marinating time, add a bit of veggie broth. Start with 1/4 cup (0,5dl). Add the marinated tofu crumbles and cook for about 10 minutes.
• Warm your tortilla in an oil-free frying pan on low heat. Place your warmed tortilla on the plate. Then add 1-2 Tbsp from all ingredients.
• I usually start with Guacamole and Tomato-Corn Salsa so they can help holding the rice and beans in place.
• Then, add the Cilantro-Lime Brown Rice and the Canned Black beans.
• Add 1-2 spoonful of Sofritas
• Top these with Fajita Veggies and Shredded Lettuce.
• I finish it off with a Shredded Cheese and a drizzle of Sour Cream (or mayo). And roll you burrito.
