Chipotle Copycat Recipe: Slow Cooker Pork Quinoa Burrito Bowls

May 31, 2016 by Tarah Thorne

Warning: You’ll never need to buy Chipotle again!

This Healthy T Slow Cooker Pork-Quinoa Burrito Bowls recipe is an excellent dump dinner during a busy week. Plus, it’s delicious!

What’s great about this recipe is the pork shoulder’s basically a no-fail in the slow cooker. It shreds nearly all by itself and comes out perfectly tender. If you don’t like pork, you could also make this recipe with chicken or beef.

Healthy T is all about clean eating and using fresh, whole ingredients whenever possible.

You’ll see there’s some optional ingredients listed: jalapenos, salsa and sour cream.

If you’re watching your sodium intake, I would suggest using only a small amount of salsa and fresh jalapenos rather than canned. You’ll see in the instructions below that it’s always good to rinse your canned black beans to get rid of excess salt.

This recipe serves 5-6 people. If you’re feeding a smaller group of people, you can either cut the recipe in half or save the leftovers to make something else fun – maybe tacos with low-carb wraps? The possibilities are endless!
