Beef Barbacoa Bowl with your choice of rice, beans and toppings.
A Chipotle Beef Barbacoa bowl has everything a beef barbacoa burrito has, served in a bowl instead of a tortilla, for the same price. Leaving out the 320-calorie tortilla makes the bowl the easiest way to cut calories and carbs, and you can ask for extra lettuce or fajita veggies at no charge.
Barbacoa is Responsibly Raised beef that is cooked sous vide, marinated in chipotle adobo and then braised slowly with cumin, cloves, oregano and bay leaf until it shreds. It is spicier and juicier than steak, with 170 calories and 24 g of protein per portion, and it costs the same as steak.
At about $11.75, it costs $2.10 more than the same order with chicken. Built with white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa and cheese, it has about 645 calories and 42 g of protein.
