If any of you have been following me on Twitter, you probably know about my die-hard addiction to the chain Chipotle. Unlike many non-vegan restaurants, there are a TON of items that are good for both vegans and meat-eaters a like!
Let me introduce you to my little friend. He’s a vegan burrito filled with rice, fajita veggies (peppers and onions), black beans, corn salsa, pico de gallo (mild salsa), hot salsa, guacamole, and romaine lettuce. In others words, burrito orgasm.
Chipotle prides themselves on their fresh ingredients, buying what is in season, and when able, organic. To some, it’s considered fast food. By definition, this is true. However, the flavors and array of ingredients are more like that of a sit-down restaurant. My favorite, of course, is their homemade Guacamole. It’s made fresh everyday, and is so worth the additional price (on a veggie burrito it’s free, on a chicken, steak, or carnitas it’s an additional $1.80). I can’t lie, it’s probably the best guac I’ve ever had..
Aside from burritos, you can also get your meal as tacos, a bowl (all ingredients, sans the burrito shell) or a salad (all ingredients on a bed of romaine).
The only cautions would be salt. If you add up the nutrition, the sodium content could get a little high. However, with my burrito alone, I was able to get my RDA of fiber in just my burrito alone. If your stomach isn’t used to such a high amount, prepare yourself! Haha.
If you would like to figure out the nutrition of your menu items, this website is a great resource!
