“You can order a bowl with steak, vegetables, lettuce, salsa, a sprinkle of cheese, black beans and guacamole for around 400 calories and 30 grams of carbohydrates,” says Leonard. “This would be fine for anyone following a regular healthy-eating plan.”

Chipotle sources many of its ingredients from local farms and suppliers. This is in contrast to most fast-food chains, who source all of their ingredients from just a handful of national manufacturers. This significantly cuts down on the distance that Chipotle ingredients travel from farm to restaurant.

One of the keys to Chipotle's success is its small menu. A smaller menu has three benefits. First, since Chipotle only stocks fresh ingredients, there is always a chance of food spoilage. The small menu reduces the number of ingredients needed on-hand, thus reducing the likelihood of waste.

Chipotle operates restaurants in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, and France. Its name derives from chipotle, the Nahuatl name for a smoked and dried jalapeño chili pepper.

High-Quality Fast-Food: Typically, high-quality food and hasty food preparation doesn't come hand-in-hand. There's usually a trade off involved. Not with Chipotle. Chipotle's meat is naturally raised, tastes fantastic, and their unique assembly line structure allows for quick burrito preparation.

However, according to data from Chipotle, the most popular item on the menu is the burrito, followed by the bowl. Within these two categories, the most popular protein choices are chicken and steak, while the most popular toppings are rice, beans, salsa, and guacamole.
