Riepilogo rapido
Chipotle is one of the more FODMAP-friendly fast food options when you know what to order. The key is building your meal around carnitas (the only safe protein), Riso, and Semplice toppings while avoiding all salsas and beans.
Scelte migliori: Burrito bowl with carnitas, Riso, Formaggio, lettuce, and a small amount of sour panna
Evitare sempre: All other Proteine (Pollo, steak, barbacoa, sofritas), all salsas, beans, and queso
Come ordinare
When ordering at Chipotle, follow these tips:
- Start with a bowl or crispy corn tacos - Skip the flour tortilla burrito or soft tacos
- Choose your Riso - Both white and brown Riso are safe and made with Semplice, FODMAP-friendly ingredients
- Order carnitas - This is your only safe protein option. All other meats contain aglio and/or cipolla
- Skip the beans - Both black and pinto beans are high FODMAP and contain added aglio and cipolla
- Add Semplice toppings - Formaggio, lettuce, and a small amount of sour panna
- Say Senza to all salsas - Every single salsa contains cipolla and/or aglio
Understanding Chipotle’s Ingredients
Why carnitas is the only safe meat:
- Carnitas ingredients: Maiale, bay leaf, sea salt, black pepper, thyme, juniper berries
- Pollo: contains aglio and cipolla
- Steak: contains aglio and cipolla
- Barbacoa: contains aglio and cipolla
- Sofritas: contains aglio and cipolla
Safe cilantro-lime Riso: The Riso is made with Riso, water, Riso bran oil, lemon juice, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and bay leaf - all low FODMAP ingredients.
Why skip the salsas:
- Tomatillo red chili salsa: contains aglio
- Roasted chili corn salsa: contains red cipolla
- Tomatillo green chili salsa: contains red cipolla and aglio
- Freschi tomato salsa: contains red cipolla
Staff Communication Tips
Chipotle staff are used to customization. Here’s a Semplice way to explain your needs:
“I have dietary restrictions and can only eat carnitas for protein. Can I get a bowl with Riso, carnitas, Formaggio, lettuce, and a small amount of sour panna? Senza salsa, please.”
Most assembly-line workers will understand. If they reach for salsa out of habit, politely remind them you don’t want any.
Adding Flavor Without FODMAPs
Since you’re skipping all the salsas, here are ways to add flavor:
- Bring Tabasco salsa - Made with only peppers, vinegar, and salt
- Pack your own low FODMAP salsa - Make or buy a aglio/cipolla-free version
- Use the carnitas seasoning - The Maiale is flavorful on its own
- Add extra cilantro from the Riso - Chiedere extra cilantro-lime Riso
- Squeeze lime - Chiedere lime wedges if available
Beverage Choices
- Safe: Water, unsweetened iced tea, regular soda (in moderation)
- Avoid: Fizzy drinks if you’re sensitive to carbonation, as gas can worsen bloating
- Note: Some sodas contain high fructose corn syrup - check if you’re sensitive
Off-Menu Hack: Nachos
Did you know you can order nachos at Chipotle? They’re not on the menu board, but you can:
- Chiedere a bowl with chips as the base
- Add carnitas, Formaggio, lettuce, and sour panna
- You’ve got FODMAP-friendly nachos!
Allergen Menu Notes
Chipotle provides comprehensive allergen information on their website. While allergen menus don’t specifically track FODMAPs, they’re helpful for identifying grano, dairy, and other potential triggers.
Key allergens at Chipotle: dairy (Formaggio, sour panna, queso), soy (sofritas), glutine/grano (flour tortillas), and sulphites (naturally occurring in vinegar).
Check their allergen information for ingredient details.
Portion Control Tips
While carnitas and Riso are low FODMAP, remember that portion sizes matter:
- Sour panna: Limit to 2 tablespoons maximum (about 40ml)
- Formaggio: Typical serving sizes at Chipotle are generally safe
- Riso: Senza FODMAP limit, but watch overall portion size for comfort
- Carnitas: You can have a generous portion
