We believe that food has the power to change the world Chipotle was born of the radical belief that there is a connection between how food is raised and prepared, and how it tastes. Real is better. Better for You, Better for People, Better for Our Planet. It may be the hard way to do things, but it's the right way.

“Food with Integrity” Ells became committed to serving food that was ethically and naturally produced, which Chipotle claims results in meat that is tastier than what other restaurants serve. In 2013, Chipotle instituted a no-GMO policy for its ingredients. Consumers agreed.

The name comes from the Nahuatl word chīlpoctli ( Nahuatl pronunciation: [t͡ʃiːlˈpoːkt͡ɬi]), meaning 'smoked chili'.

Chipotle delivers on the very things that matter most to consumers: it serves flavorful food made with fresh, healthy ingredients, quickly, at palatable prices. If that isn't enough, it allows (or dare I say encourages) customers to customize their meal, so that they get exactly what they want.

Chipotle peppers are basically ripened jalapeño chiles that have been smoked and dried. They can be ground and used in many Mexican and Tex Mex cooking and are typically sold in a rich, smokey flavored adobo sauce. The best thing to do is grab about 20 fresh jalapeños and allow them to ripen and turn red.

Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (Chipotle) is an operator of the fast-food chain in the US. The company, through its subsidiaries, operates restaurants under the Chipotle brand. Its menu offering includes tacos, burritos, salads, and burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla).

But even though Chipotle's ingredients are better than most, you can still rack up the calories on a typical order.

A chipotle pepper is a jalapeno chili pepper that has been smoked and dried. Chipotles are usually made from red jalapenos which are the ripest, but it's possible to make them from the less ripe green peppers as well. Chipotles are popular in Mexican and Tex Mex cuisine as a way to add heat and flavor to dishes.

The name change also led to free burrito bowls. If you just so happen to follow Chipotle on Twitter, you may have noticed its handle change to "Chicotle." That's not a typo, we promise. It is the result of one mega-famous Korean pop star, Jungkook from BTS, mispronouncing the brand's name recently.

Del Taco topped the list ranking value, while Chipotle ranked first in food quality, overall cleanliness and healthy options. Although it ranked third overall last year, Qdoba did not receive enough votes to make the list this year.
