Quickie bite: Chipotle

January 18, 2012

A new location of Chipotle opened today in Toronto (the third one here) at 123 Front St. West. Yum!

It’s one of my favourite spots for a quick, inexpensive bite — it’s that cilantro rice that gets me. Ok, and the tender, perfectly seasoned meat.

(btw, they now offer brown rice, too, for you health nuts)

Didja know they’re committed to organic produce and naturally raised meat? (here in the Toronto locations, the pork comes from du Breton farm in Quebec, and the organic chicken and beef is from Beretta Farms, which is just outside of the  T-dot)? I didn’t know that at first; I just knew that my burrito was pretty darn tasty.

My usual order? The chicken burrito with black beans (fibre, yo!) and guacamole (healthy fats!). With all of that, the burrito ends up being bigger than one of my cats.

So I only eat half. And save the rest for lunch the next day. There you go, that’s my smart-dining-out strategy for you for today. You’re welcome!

(I kid, but I do often only eat half my main and take home a doggie bag — but usually the reason is so I can have a bite of dessert…).
