With do-it-yourself burritos and bowls made with fresh ingredients, Chipotle offers you flexibility with your order. This makes it extremely easy to eat gluten-free at Chipotle.
The only menu items to avoid are the burritos and the quesadilla, because they are made with flour tortillas, which contain gluten.
Also, gluten-free eaters should avoid flour tortilla tacos (made with smaller flour tortillas) and opt for corn tortillas instead.
All other menu items and ingredients at Chipotle are gluten-free, so you can choose from burrito bowls, salads, and corn tortilla tacos.
You can also make selections from the full menu of meats, beans, rice, vegetables, and other dressings and condiments.
Finally, all the sides at Chipotle are also gluten-free, including the fries and cheese sauce.
Because there are gluten-containing flour tortillas in Chipotle kitchens, cross-contamination can occur.
If you have a severe intolerance to gluten (such as celiac disease), you may not be able to eat at Chipotle without asking them to make some modifications to their process (3).
To minimize cross contamination, follow these steps:
- When you arrive, tell your waiter that you are gluten intolerant.
- Ask that a single employee (with freshly washed hands and a clean pair of gloves) prepare your food from start to finish, rather than having your food passed around to multiple employees.
- If possible, have your chosen ingredients divided from new containers with clean utensils.
You have endless gluten-free meal combinations available at Chipotle. If you’re avoiding gluten, you can order anything on the menu except burritos, quesadillas, or tacos made with flour tortillas.
