Unless you wanted to pay for the recipe ... sight unseen, no one was able to print last weeks recipe. No need to pay for these recipes since Chipotle Grill provided several of their recipes years ago. I have made the rice before and it is EXACTLY like what you get in the restaurant. I have never tried the Barbacoa recipe though.

CHIPOTLE'S RESTAURANT BASMATI RICE Shared by: Chef Steve Ellis Owner & Executive Chef at Chipotle's Restaurants Source: Keep Cooking with Jonathan Recipes http://www.keepcookin.com/index.html
Note: [bahs-MAH-tee] Literally translated as "queen of fragrance," Basmati has been grown in the foothills of the Himalayas for thousands of years. Its perfumy, nutlike flavor and aroma can be attributed to the fact that the grain is aged to decrease its moisture content. Basmati is a long-grained rice with a fine texture. It can be found in Indian and Middle Eastern markets and some supermarkets
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter to equal 2 teaspoons (*gard'n fresh frozen) cilantro 2/3 cup white basmati rice 1 cup water 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 lime
In a 2 quart heavy saucepan heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Add rice and lime juice, cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Cook covered over low heat until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.
