Chipotle Burrito Bowl – 7 Layer Mexican Bowl
My Chipotle Burrito Bowl recipe is based on the burrito bol at Chipotle restaurants, but the chipotle here refers to the chili pepper that I have used rather than the restaurant chain.

Meatless Quesadillas – gooey punch
Quesadillas (kay-see-dee-yaa) are probably the most popular Mexican food. Kids or grown-ups, no one can really refuse one.
