Chipotle Plant Based Chorizo kicks off the new year with bold flavor

Ready to kick off the first Meatless Monday of the year with a bang? The new Chipotle Plant Based Chorizo is a flavorful way to put plant-based food on the table. Ready to wrap up a new ingredient for that food resolution?

When the calendar page turns, many people resolve to make healthy eating a priority. Whether it is adding more plant-based food to the routine or creating balanced meals, the reality is that many people are looking to expand their food choices.

The Chipotle Plant Based Chorizo looks to show guests that “you don’t have to sacrifice flavor to enjoy a vegan or vegetarian protein.” While this launch seems to be well-timed to the resolution season, the reality is that expanding plant-based food options are not just a food trend, it is a menu staple.

As Nevielle Panthaky, Vice President of Culinary, Chipotle said, “Our culinary team has worked relentlessly for years to develop this breakthrough Plant-Based Chorizo recipe that is uniquely Chipotle and aligns with the brand’s industry-leading Food with Integrity standards.” From the sizzle on the grill to the flavor in the bowl, it is about creating a food that does not make guests feel as if they are compromising.

According to Chipotle, the plant-based chorizo features “Chipotle peppers, ripe tomato paste, crushed garlic, Spanish smoked paprika, and extra virgin olive oil.” Based on the description, it appears that the brand has found a way to deliver the layers of flavors that people expect in a chorizo. From the spices to the sizzle, this new menu item should be a big hit.

With “16 grams of protein per 4 oz serving,” there are plenty of reasons to try this new menu item. From the burrito to the bowl, many people will be impressed with the flavor.
