But first, quick things to know about these recipes:

• They are not, I repeat, NOT certified Chipotle recipes. These recipes are very, very close approximations, inspired by Chipotle.

• How close? In the name of research, I forced Chipotle-loving co-workers, friends, and family to eat copious amounts of the stuff, so they could wax poetic about what exactly makes it so damn addictive. I took this info, combined it with my ~knowledge of cooking~, and created these recipes — after testing, re-testing, and testing some more.

• They are designed to be easy for you to make at home so you never have to leave your house ever again. (Except, you know, to get the ingredients.)

• They are extremely delicious and you will want to make them again and again.
