One
of my biggest problems with going to fast-food restaurants is a lack of flavor.
For example, if I were to get a combo from McDonald’s, including chicken
nuggets, fries and a coke, my whole meal would taste like three ingredients. The
ingredients are oil, salt and sugar. While a craving for fries and a coke might
happen occasionally, I would not considerate that a very tasty diet.
To
me, a tasty meal is any meal that includes natural ingredients with some added
spice. One fast-food restaurant that allows me to eat natural ingredients with a
little extra spicy kick to it is Chipotle. I love Chipotle because I am able to
customize my meal while adding different levels of complexity to it. For
example, if I am just in the mood for some lime and cilantro rice with steak
and salsa, I can order it. If I am in the mood for something a bit more complex,
I can involve almost all of the ingredients for the same price.
Recently,
I went to Chipotle for a last-minute meal and I ordered the new carne asada,
which is grilled marinated steak. I decided to include this new menu option in
a burrito bowl. To set the foundation, I started with lime and cilantro rice. From
there I added carne asada and veggies (onions and peppers). My bowl then got
passed on to the next guy, and he asked me what salsa I wanted on to. I said
you can put them all on. The guy was like dope I can do that. I then skipped
the rest of the ingredients, because they are not tasty, and they fill me up
quicker. One the other hand, my girlfriend ordered the same thing as me except
she only got the mild salsa and she added sour cream and cheese.
As we
sat down at a table, I snapped a picture of the food and we ate. The first bite
was magical. I can’t think of another word to describe this burrito bowl except
for magical. The meat was extremely tender and juicy, and the flavors from the
other ingredients worked in harmony. I then added chipotle sauce, and oh my
goodness. My mind was blown. It was the best thing since ’09. That was the year
Drake released his first album. Nothing can beat that year. But in all honesty,
EVERYONE should try this the new menu option, carne asada, at Chipotle.
Chipotle is amazing, I could eat it pretty much everyday of the week. I usually stick to chicken but I'll have to try the carne asada.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you reviewed this because I’ve been on the fence about trying it! Might have to swing by Chipotle this weekend.
