The Best Vegan Options at Chipotle

Your ultimate guide to building a plant-based meal at Chipotle.

Eating Vegan at Chipotle

Chipotle is an incredible option for a filling, high-protein plant-based meal on the go. Almost everything besides the meat, cheese, and sour cream is naturally vegan.

The Tastiest Plant-Based Dishes

If you're pulling into the drive-thru, these are the top plant-based menu items you must try:

  • Sofritas Burrito Bowl (Spicy braised tofu)
  • Veggie Fajita Burrito (Includes free guacamole without meat)
  • Chips and Fresh Tomato Salsa
  • Black Bean Tacos

Menu Hacks and Custom Orders

Get the most out of Chipotle's menu by modifying these classic dishes to remove hidden animal ingredients:

  • Order a "Veggie" meal instead of Sofritas if you want free guacamole included.
  • Ask for half Sofritas and half fajita veggies to create a more balanced texture.
  • Mix the mild salsa with the corn salsa for an incredible sweet-and-spicy flavor profile.

Cross-Contamination Warnings

Since ingredients are stored side-by-side on the assembly line, stray pieces of cheese or meat sometimes fall into the guacamole or lettuce. Ask the employee if they can pull lettuce from a fresh container underneath if you are strictly avoiding cross-contamination.
