What Makes Chipotle Sides Special?
What stands out to me is how Chipotle treats sides. Many fast-food chains treat sides as an afterthought. But that’s not the case with Chipotle. Their chips are exceptional. Fresh every day.
The guac? That’s one item I can never get tired of. It’s made in-house. It tastes like something that comes right out of your kitchen.
I’ll also give them a 9/10 for the queso. The two best words to describe them are ‘warm’ and ‘rich’. They will melt right into your tongue and complement whatever meal you just had.
You will love how they actually feel like part of the meal. I’ll understand if you want to skip them to save a few bucks. I get it. But trust me, you’re missing out. Just give them a try if you’ve had one.
Are Chipotle Chips and Sides Healthy?
Nobody wants to take chances on their health anymore. Everyone is on the lookout. Wanting to consume only what is good for the body. Who wouldn’t want to be healthy?
If I’m being honest, not every side is healthy. Some are just there for the sweet treat but not very healthy.
The chips are slightly salty. Many people like it that way. But not everyone would be okay with that. They may not be the ideal option for those with high blood pressure.
The guacs are okay for me because of their healthy fats. However, they are high in calories.
If you want something cheesy and rich, go for the queso. They are on the healthy side of things. The salsas? They’re great. They are fresh, low-cal, and full of veggies.
Are you counting calories? If yes, I recommend you stick to smaller portions. In all, most of these sides and chips are healthy. But depending on what you want, you might want to skip one or two in your diet.
Sides That Double as Hacks
Here’s a fun one. The tortilla on the side. This side is versatile and costs only 50 cents. Do you know you can convert this tortilla into a taco? How? Just fill it up with items from your bowl. You’ve successfully made a taco.
I’ve done that many times. It’s cheap and satisfying. Another quick hack is to get a large queso and pour it over your whole bowl. This will introduce a new vibe to your meal.
Do you know you can also mix salsas? Buy two sides and mix them up. Enjoy.
