That’s why Chipotle never lists “combos”. You build your own. Our Chipotle nutrition calculator totals calories and price for any combination.
Chipotle Ingredients: What Makes the Menu Different
Chipotle says its food is made from 53 real ingredients with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Crews cook from scratch in every restaurant each day: grilling chicken and steak in small batches, hand-mashing guacamole, making salsas and rice, and frying chips. For allergens in every ingredient, see the Chipotle allergen menu. For plant-based options, see the vegan & vegetarian menu.
