After asking Felicia about her favorite take-out food and hearing her response yesterday, I started getting a hankering for take-out last night. I ran nine miles after work, so it was already nearing 8pm when I left the gym. (Yes, Jane, I ran 9 miles on the tmill. Judge away). I knew exactly what I wanted for dinner: Chipotle.
Lucky for me, Tim has one RIGHT across the street from his apartment. He was kind enough to pick me up my favorite: a burrito bowl with chicken and black beans and all the kinds of salsa and no sour cream anywhere near it. And let me tell you, it was unbelievably delicious.
I didn’t think I would ever love Chipotle for several reasons. First, the idea of wrapping up rice in a tortilla weirds me out. Second, it used to be owned by McDonalds, so I judge myself for loving fast food. Third, I don’t love burritos. I really dislike that bite you get where it’s just tortilla and a mouthful of rice or tortilla and a mouthful of guacamole. I like my bites to be perfectly balanced. I can accomplish this with the magical, wonderous burrito in a BOWL. Basically, they just put all the ingredients in a bowl instead of a burrito. And it is glorious.
Reasons I love Chipotle:
- It is delicious.
- Guacamole.
- You get an enormous amount of food and are satisfied after only half, so you really get two meals out of it. (BARGAIN!)
- Half of a burrito bowl is less than 400 calories, which makes it not just a financial bargain, but a caloric bargain as well.
- You can get all four kinds of salsa for a flavor explosion.
- They try to not have gross factory-farm raised meat, which they get points for.
- You can get a delightful serving of carb-protein fusion in less than five minutes. PERFECT after a Tuesday night nine-miler.
This is making me extremely happy that I have Chipotle part 2 for my lunch today. YUM.
