Chipotle’s great and all, but it’s a little ridiculous that guacamole costs extra. Every time I’m in line they say, “Guac costs extra, is that OK?” Umm, no, not at all. But will I pay for it? *Heavy sigh* Yes.

If you’re over the fee for guacamole, why not try making a banging burrito bowl in the comfort of your home where you can have as much avocado goodness as you’d like? Sounds like a pretty good idea to me!

If you’re feeling the whole “make Chipotle at home” concept, then you should definitely try any of these 12 DIY burrito bowls that you can whip up in your very own kitchen.
