This rice is a direct result of our love for Chipotle. We eat there quite frequently and have recently discovered that they send coupons via text, which is super convenient. Even though we love Chipotle for a quick, easy, and vegan-friendly dinner out, sometimes it is just as easy and satisfying to make you own similar meal and stay in.
