Yes, Chipotle can be keto-friendly if you make the right choices. The key is to avoid high-carb ingredients like rice, beans, tortillas, and certain toppings like corn. Here are some keto-friendly options you can consider:
1. Base: Instead of rice or beans, opt for a salad or a bowl with lettuce as your base.
2. Protein: Choose protein options like chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, or sofritas (tofu-based). These are all low in carbs.
3. Toppings:
– Guacamole: High in healthy fats and very low in carbs.
– Cheese: A good source of fat and protein with minimal carbs.
– Sour cream: Low in carbs and adds a creamy texture.
– Salsa: Opt for the green or red salsa for a low-carb option.
– Lettuce: A great low-carb vegetable option for extra crunch.
4. Avoid:
– Tortillas (flour or corn)
– Rice (white or brown)
– Beans (black beans, pinto beans)
– Corn (as it is high in carbs)
– Chips
By choosing the right base, protein, and toppings, you can enjoy a flavorful and keto-friendly meal at Chipotle.
