mushroomqueen Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I just wanted to let everyone know that Chipotle has rolled out a new meat, chorizo. It is whole30 compliant and doesn't even have any vegetable oil like the carnitas does! I tried it today and it is awesome! Ingredients: White Meat Chicken , Pork , Pork Skins , Seasoning (Paprika, Hungarian Paprika, Smoked Paprika, mild red pepper, dried Oregano, Chipotle Chili pepper, Black Pepper, Salt), Red Wine Vinegar, Garlic, Cumin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie C Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 i'm on day 15 of my first whole30 and have a conference out of town later this week for 3 days. was planning on packing my meals but there is a chipolte right by my hotel. What exactly did you order there would be totally whole 30 compliant? I know no rices & beans. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushroomqueen Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi I usually get a salad with no dressing. With either chorizo or carnitas or both , guacamole, and pico de gallo and sometimes the salsa verde too. Those are really the only compliant things there. It's still really yummy tho!

Many restaurants will have ingredients or allergen statements on their website. Chipotle actually has a really thorough ingredient list making it easy to see what is and isn't okay -- I don't see the chorizo on there yet, I'm not sure if the OP found that somewhere else on the site or asked at the restaurant. If you're looking at a restaurant that isn't quite as forthcoming, most still have allergen lists which is a good place to start. They'll typically list things like peanuts, soy, gluten, and dairy, and you can start with that and figure out what looks promising, and then ask at the restaurant about things like sweeteners, rice, corn, peas/beans, etc. There are more tips in the Dining Out Guide as well.

C. Logan Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Exciting!! I emailed them about the red wine vinegar to make sure it's not containing added sulfites. Probably overkill but I like to know these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Logan Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hurray! They confirmed, the sulfites are naturally occurring and not added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

operationskinnyjeans Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I called my local chipotle and they told me they cook the chorizo on the same grill as the chicken and steak, and spray it down regularly with the Rice Bran oil. The carnitas and barbacoa are cooked in a different pot using sunflower oil. At least at mine. Worth calling to double check probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

operationskinnyjeans Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 No prob, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I tried their chorizo before I started and it was delicious. But better safe than sorry I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Logan Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 No worries. It pays to be thorough. I wish they'd just switch to sunflower oil for everything... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushroomqueen Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 The barbacoa still contains rice bran oil however which means that carnitas is also cooked in a pot that had rice bran oil. I don't think we have to be so technical as to what was lightly sprayed or touching the grill or pot. Then it'd be hard to eat out anywhere.
