Chipotle's Secret Menu Keeps Students Hungry

Personally, when I eat Chipotle I feel better about myself than eating at the normal Mexican restaurant. If you have not seen the company's documentary, go check it out on Netflix. All the food is organic and locally grown, and there are no synthetic hormones in the meat served. It is hard to beat an eight dollar meal of this content. For the price of a McDonalds meal vs Chipotle, Chipotle wins by a long shot. Along with its exceptional quality food, Chipotle has a few secret menu and calorie friendly items that you may not know about.
Quesarito: This is my weakness, along with many of my friends. Hungover? This is the cure. The tortilla is actually a quesadilla shell filled with cheese. The rest of the assembly line is normal, add everything you want. It is heaven.
Burritodilla: The quesadilla meets the burrito. This cheesy goodness is addicting. It is a burrito made with a quesadilla tortilla. Similar to the quesartio, this is crunchy almost like a taco and flatter than a quesarito. It may have half the fillings, but the cheese makes up for that. It is also grilled after all the fillings of your choice are put in.
Double Wrapped Burrito: You can order two tortillas to wrap your burrito if you desire. This one is for the warm, soft tortilla lovers.
Fresh cilantro: This is one of my favorite additions. Cilantro adds a nice kick to the rest of the ingredients in a burrito, all you have to do is ask! It is free of charge, no worries.
Nachos: This is one of the more calorie friendly items if you want to ditch most of the bread. Anything you can put in a burrito, you can put on these nachos! Chipotle melts cheese on their famous chips before adding all the goods to make sure those toppings stick.
Single Taco: Yes, a quick snack is possible. You are able to order a single taco even though it is not advertised.
Taco Salad: This is one of the rarest secret menu items. Only at a few Chipotle chains have I been able to order this. This salad comes just as a normal salad would but with a taco shell bowl. A healthier option is to get a regular Chipotle salad, skip the rice and add more lettuce. These are still just as great.
Quesadilla: Many may know about the quesadilla being a choice, but it is surprisingly not on the menu. Instead of a burrito, wrap all your fillings in a quesadilla. These are actually huge, I always have left overs. I feel like it may be a little more bang for you buck to order these, along with the burrito bowls.
Ole Chipotle, hats (or sombreros) off to you.
