How to order
Order tips
- · Bowl > burrito — the flour tortilla alone is about 600 mg sodium.
- · Brown rice (190 mg) over white rice (350 mg) per scoop; still tastes like Chipotle.
- · Chicken or steak over barbacoa/sofritas when sodium is the goal.
- · Say “light salsa.” Tomato salsa is a hidden salt bomb; corn salsa is often friendlier.
- · Skip vinaigrette and chips by default — they’re delicious and brutal on sodium.
- · Sour cream is lower sodium than most people think; queso is not.
Avoid / high sodium
Burrito tortilla + chips + queso + vinaigrette · Double rice + double salsa stacks · Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette (850 mg / 2 fl oz)
