But before you ask for the barbacoa, you need to ask the Chipotle employee to spoon that juice the meat is sitting in all over your rice and beans. It’s tender, savory, and juicy, with a blend of herbal oregano, clove, and bay leaf adding some deep earthy flavors. You’re going to get barbacoa, it’s Chipotle’s best permanent meat option by far. Now we’ve come to perhaps the most important ingredient in this bowl. The white cilantro lime rice is fresh and herbal, with just a hint of citrus that is flavorful enough to be enjoyable, but neutral enough to act as a sponge for the barbacoa juice we’re going to spoon all over it. The brown is earthy and chewy - we don’t want that. Yes, the brown rice is better for you thanks to the higher fiber content, but again, you want a nice mouthfeel and the white rice is going to get you that.

I know the black beans are fun and different, and maybe slightly less calorically dense, but when you want flavor, pinto is where it’s at.

We’ve already covered which of Chipotle’s protein options are the most flavorful, and even taught you how to make the greatest burrito you can possibly order (seriously, try it, I’ve received nothing but praise for this burrito in my email inbox, which is rare for a food writer) - so now it’s time to teach you how to make the best Chipotle Burrito Bowl you’ll ever eat. Point being, you can get some seriously delicious food at Chipotle if you don’t try to take advantage of an ordering system that essentially allows you to get an abundance of everything (aside from meat and guacamole) for free. ![]() This can lead to some truly great tasting food or - if you insist on including every single ingredient offered into your meal - you’re going to end up with a muddled pile of food that has no rhyme or reason to its construction. The restaurant supplies the ingredient, but ultimately the flavor is in your hands. Chipotle, like Subway, is the sort of fast food (or fast casual, in this case) joint that is only as good as you make it. ![]()
