INGREDIENTS
Behold.
Okay, this is why you're here. The architecture, the music, the people are all very nice, but it's the food you crave. The beautiful thing is that we assemble what you want and how you want it, right in front of you. You tell us your version of the perfect burrito, and we're happy to oblige. What will it be today? The ever-popular chicken burrito or a vegetarian fajita burrito bowl? Or maybe two soft barbacoa tacos with one crispy carnitas taco? Oh yes, the guacamole is a must.
- Cilantro-Lime Rice
- We steam white rice every hour until it's light and fluffy, then toss it with freshly chopped cilantro, a dash of citrus juice and a little salt. Vegetarian.
- Fajita Vegetables
- We start with whole green bell peppers and red onion, slice them, and then sauté them in a bit of soybean oil with chopped, fresh oregano until bright and slightly crisp. Vegetarian.
- Black Beans
- Never refried, our black beans are seasoned with cumin, garlic and other spices, then slow cooked until tender, but not mushy. Vegetarian. *Click for more info.
- Pinto Beans
- Our pinto beans have a smoky aroma and a mildly sweet heat. These beans are seasoned with bacon, in addition to several herbs and spices. *Click for more info.
- Carnitas
- Naturally raised pork, seasoned with thyme, bay leaves, juniper berries and freshly cracked black pepper. First, it's seared, then braised for hours until it's fall-off-the-bone tender and finally gently shredded. Chef's recommendation: crispy tacos with carnitas, sour cream, hot salsa and romaine lettuce. *Click for more info.
- Chicken
- Marinated overnight in our smoky, spicy chipotle pepper adobo, then grilled. The char marks impart a subtle caramelized flavor. A customer favorite. *Click for more info.
- Steak
- Lean steak marinated for 12 hours in our smoky, spicy chipotle pepper adobo, then grilled to a juicy, medium-rare. *Click for more info.
- Barbacoa
- Spicy, shredded beef, slowly braised for hours in a blend of chipotle adobo, cumin, cloves, garlic and oregano. Tender and moist, the barbacoa is a must for beef-lovers. *Click for more info.
- Fresh Tomato Salsa (Mild)
- Chopped red, ripe sweet tomatoes, mixed with red onions, jalapeño peppers and freshly chopped cilantro for a mildly tangy, refreshing taste. Vegetarian.
- Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa (Medium)
- Sweet, succulent corn, blended with roasted poblano peppers, jalapeño peppers, red onions and freshly chopped cilantro. This unique, robust salsa is both sweet and mildly hot. Vegetarian.
- Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa (Medium)
- A distinctive combination of tomatillos, tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, red onions, freshly chopped cilantro and several spices. A rousing addition to a barbacoa or carnitas burrito. Vegetarian.
- Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa (Hot)
- This salsa of puréed chiles de arbol, tomatillos and fresh spices is smooth, full-bodied and a rich, rusty red color. Very hot. Vegetarian.
- Sour Cream
- One hundred percent cultured cream whipped to a velvety consistency. Vegetarian. *Click for more info.
- Cheese
- A blend of freshly grated jack and white cheddar cheeses. We grate our cheese from large blocks daily, which ensures a moist, creamy texture. Our cheese is made from a vegetable-based rennet and is therefore vegetarian.
- Guacamole
- Several times daily in every Chipotle, we lovingly mash just-picked, ripe Hass avocados, then blend in freshly chopped cilantro, red onions, and jalapeño peppers, citrus juice, salt and selected spices to create the silky, sexy guacamole we love. An impartial connoisseur has called it the "Best Guacamole Known To Man". Taste and decide for yourself. Vegetarian.
- Romaine Lettuce
- Crisp, fresh leaves of crunchy romaine lettuce, cut just right to accompany your tacos (ask for mucha lechuga!). Omit rice and add lettuce to your burrito bowl for a Chipotle salad. Vegetarian.
