Crock-Pot: Barbacoa Bowls (Chipotle Copy)

barbacoa bowls 2I love Chipotle’s Barbacoa meat so I decided to try and make my own barbacoa bowls! I wouldn’t say its exact because I obviously don’t have Chipotle’s recipe BUT it’s dang good and super easy to make!

LITTLE PREP, BIG TASTE

I got the Barbacoa recipe inspiration from Gimme Some Oven but then decided to try to copy my favorite meal at Chipotle and make it into a bowl! This recipe requires little prep work, all you need to do is chop the onion and chipotles, throw everything into the Crock-Pot and you are good to go! I bought the meat already cubed at Trader’s Joe’s (image below) but you can always buy regular chuck roast and cube yourself.

GLUTEN-FREE

This recipe is gluten-free! If you are using it for tacos just make sure you pick corn shells or gluten-free wraps. If you make it into a bowl like I did, then you are good to go!

SERVING OPTIONS

The possibilities are endless on how you want to use the meat. I made tacos one night and bowls the next but honestly you could throw this on top of a pizza, into a burrito, whatever your little heart desires! See below for nutrition information on the meat plain, in a taco or in a bowl!

Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!
