CHIPOTLE'S BARBACOA COPYCAT RECIPE
That's right now you can make barbacoa as good as Chipotle's at home! Perfecting this recipe started as a bet... while my husband Scott and his good friend Steve were enjoying one of their many grad school barbacoa lunches from Chipotle, Steve made the comment, "I don't think even Jan could make it this good." Oh, the challenge was on! I searched the web and found several recipes claiming to be the real deal but I decided to base mine off a copycat recipe I found on Todd Wilbur's Top Secret Recipes. So how did it come out? Let's just say Steve ate his words and several of these burritos :) Heads up, you'll need a crockpot for this one.

Steps:
- For the marinade:.
- To the bowl of a food processor or blender add 1/2 cup water, onion, garlic, 4 tablespoons adobo sauce (from can of chili's in adabo), 2 chipotle chili (also from can), chile powder, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon salt, cumin, vinegar, oregano, and black pepper.
- Blend until completely smooth, add 1 1/2 cup water stirring to combine.
- Marinate meat in adobo:.
- Place meat in a large non-reactive container, with enough room for the adobo sauce.
- Pour sauce over, turning roast to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 10 to 12 hours (overnight) for the most intense flavor; meat can be marinated for up to 2 days. Remove roast from marinade, pat dry with paper towels. Cut beef into 3 equal portions.
- Cook Roast:.
- Preheat oven to 275F .
- In a large Dutch oven, combine beef with adobo marinade and bay leaves. Cover and cook until beef is tender and can be pulled apart with a fork, 6 to 7 hours.
- Using a large slotted spoon or tongs remove beef to a large bowl. (reserve cooking liquid, discard bay leaves and whole chilis) Allow beef to rest, covered for 30 minutes, Shred beef using two forks or tongs, discarding excess fat. Taste adobo cooking liquid. (if it is too spicy or too salty, thin it out with hot water) moisten meat with 1 cup adobo cooking liquid, reserving the rest for later use.
- Make Rice:.
- In medium pot (about 2 to 3 quarts) combine water, rice, salt, and bay leaf. Boil, uncovered until steam holes appear in rice, and grains on surface appear dry, about 8 minutes. Cover pot and cook rice over lowest heat 15 minutes more, until moisture is mostly absorbed. Remove pot from heat and cover. Let rice stand for 5 minutes undisturbed Transfer rice to a medium bowl fluff with a fork, stir in lime juice and cilantro.

Tips:
- For the best barbacoa, use chuck roast or shoulder roast. These cuts of beef are tough, but they become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
- To save time, you can cook the barbacoa in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
- If you don't have time to make the cilantro-lime rice, you can use store-bought Spanish rice or white rice.
- To make the guacamole, use ripe avocados. The avocados should be soft to the touch and yield to gentle pressure.
- Add your favorite toppings to the bowl, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, or pickled onions.
Conclusion:
This copycat Chipotle barbacoa bowl is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The barbacoa is tender and flavorful, and the cilantro-lime rice is the perfect complement. With a variety of toppings to choose from, this bowl is sure to please everyone at the table.
