Yes

You can buy all the ingredients and make burritos/burrito bowls yourself at home for a fraction of the price

Buy a pack of big burrito tortillas, or if you really want to you can make your own with some flour

Buy a bag of rice, and lime juice/cilantro if you want to season it like Chipotle does

Buy a can of black beans

Buy a few pounds of chicken breast or skirt steak and season it with cumin, paparika, chile powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; then grill it

Buy some jarred salsa, or make your own if you want

If you want guac, you can buy it at the store, or make your own with avacados, lime juice, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, and garlic

If you want queso, you can buy it jarred, but its really easy to make your own with American Cheese(from the deli, not Kraft Singles style slices) and/or Oaxcan cheese, diced jalapenos, and half and half or milk

Then of course buy sour cream, cheese to shred, etc.

That's all the ingredients you need.

Can you tell me who is hyping Chipotle? What does that even mean?

I go there for a quick, semi-healthy meal. I don’t think anyone is claiming it’s the most delicious meal around but I also don’t want to be a fat POS eating burgers everyday.

Why don’t we put it in the healthy fast food category and then you give me examples of chain restaurants that are better in that category.

You can make it healthy and still have a decent meal.

Bowl with beans, rice, veggies, salsa, cheese, and meat is high in protein and not that unhealthy for less than $10.

I’m still waiting for a healthier option in the fast food chain category

The entire problem with this thread is y’all debating how delicious or not a chain fast food restaurant is. That’s just not what chain fast food does.

It's fast food chain, it's not a healthy category.

The sauces and guac are the only reason to go there. People who go out to places like that in search of healthy options are funny to me. You get brown rice, beans, chicken, and nothing else and act like you're winning. You just paid 10 bucks for bland food you could make it home for $3.

Explain to me how it’s unhealthy.

Y’all really are unhinged about other people’s food choices. Who said it was a great deal compared to home cooking?

Still no examples of a healthy fast food option that is as cheap as home cooking

You just went from it's healthy to it's not that unhealthy.

I feel like we have different definitions of unhinged.

Who said this exists? I certainly didn't. In fact, I just said that it's fast food. That entire category exists to get fast, not healthy.

It’s all relative. It’s healthy compared to 99% of other fast food options. Is it as healthy as a quinoa kale salad... prob not but no one wants to eat that shite

Out of nowhere you just said look how bad of a deal it is for beans, rice, and protein. if you knew where Wendy’s food came from you would say the same thing. Hell any fast food chain.

What are you even talking about? Wendy's isn't healthy and I never said it was.

I said going out to eat and grabbing a bowl of brown rice, chicken, and black beans for $10 is just a horrible waste of money that people think is so healthy.

I can’t remember the last time Wendy’s poisoned their diners.

I have eaten In and Out burgers twice and do not understand why they have such a following. Reminded me of a regular McDonalds burger.

I agree Chipotle is nothing special either. I will not eat there given all their quality problems.

Name a fast food restaurant that has made more people sick than Chipotle has.
