What to order at Chipotle Mexican Grill
Best bet: Salad bowl, protein and beans, easy on the rice
Main options
- Salad Bowl — lettuce base, your protein, black or pinto beans, fajita vegetables, salsas
- Burrito Bowl — load protein and vegetables first, take a smaller scoop of brown rice
- Single crispy corn or soft flour taco — go easy on rice and corn salsa
Toppings to prioritize
- Protein: chicken, steak, carnitas or sofritas
- Beans: black or pinto, for fiber and protein
- Fajita vegetables
- Salsas — the corn salsa is the highest in carbohydrate
- Guacamole — the fat slows digestion
Sides
- Small side of chips and guacamole if you want one
Drinks
- Water
- Unsweetened iced tea
