Sofritos bowl at Chipotle

Vegan Options at Chipotle - Vegetarian Options at Chipotle

My husband loves to eat Mexican-style foods. We've been to Chipotle many times before, but it's been a while since we have been there. Today, we went for lunch. Chipotle is a pretty easy place to vegan at. The vegan options at Chipotle include getting the sofritas (a spicy tofu) or vegetables. You can get that in a bowl, burrito, or tacos. The chips and salsa are also vegan, as are their rice, beans, and guacamole. At Chipotle, you can watch the people preparing the ingredients being prepared in front of you, and not far away on their cookware.

My husband opted for the sofritas burrito, while I opted for the sofritas bowl (with two small tortillas on the side). My bowl had rice, beans, grilled veggies, sofritas, salsa, and lettuce. 

If you like spicy foods you will love the sofritas! The tofu is pretty spicy to me and I'm not a big fan of spicy foods. I still liked the flavor of it, but it's hard for me to eat much of spicy foods. Next time, I'd opt for the vegetable bowl, burrito, or tacos, leaving out the sofritas. We paired it up with chips and salsa, which are good there.

I think it's great that Chipotle offers sofritas (spicy tofu) and vegetables and you can easily eat vegan there. If you are looking for a good quick fast food meal, the vegan Chipotle options will be a good option if you like Mexican food.
