If you love chipotle like we do then you need to check this out! I have been trying to re-create some chipotle menu items. This one is pretty tasty and quick! It tastes like a combo of chipotle chicken with chipotle hot salsa.
Caution: This is pretty spicy so put some chicken on the side first for the kiddos!
BTW...the chicken is BOGO at Publix Supermarkets this week ;)
