Looking for a Healthy Fast Dinner? Think Chipotle on Eat This Instead

This week I'm Blogging to let everyone know about this great Brand, if you don't know already: Chipotle Mexican Grill.

Chipotle has been celebrated as one of the healthiest 'fast' foods one could get, but not only is it healthy, the food tastes AMAZING!

When you go inside a Chipotle it is alot like a Panda Express or Subway, where your order is made on the spot. You'll see a delicious hot bar of freshly made Cilantro Lime Jasmine Rice (they have brown now!), Fajita Vegetables, your choice of Black (my favorite) or Pinto beans, a variety of meats, and your typical burrito/taco toppers like an amazing selection of salsas, cheese, sour cream, etc.

Chipotle is most famous for their awesome burritos but you can also select other options like hard shell/soft shell tacos, a salad, quesadilla or a burrito bowl. They also offer freshly made chips & salsa.

Burrito Bowls are my personal favorite. They are everything that's awesome inside a burrito but served in bowl, they are not as messy to eat and I feel like you can get more/eat more food this way without that high calorie delicious tortilla! You can always ask for a flour tortilla on the side if needed. Burrito Bowls generally have lower calories than a burrito because there is no enormous flour tortilla. You can also get a great salad and they offer many Vegetarian dishes as well. Did I mention you can order Mexican Beer and a Margarita with your dinner as well? Awesome right? And just when I thought this whole Chipotle thing couldn't get ANY better, they brought in the Tobasco Smoked Chipotle sauce for customers to use on their food. Only my favorite sauce ever! Heaven.

OK so this review is not because Chipotle is the best Corporately owned fast Mexican food a person can get, it's because this brand offers Food With Integrity.

So what is Food with Integrity?

Chipotle's Food with Integrity means that Chipotle supports sustainable farming practices which is super important for our environment these days. It means that their Chicken is raised without any added Antibiotics. It means their Pigs are not subjected to Growth Hormones which hurt pigs and can inevitably be transferred and effect humans. It also means that they support and purchase locally from farmers who grow Organic, respect the land and respect the animals in their care. That's Integrity.
