Chipotle now offers brown rice! (ingredient, healthier, avocado, cream)

Good news! A healthier, more flavorful choice.

OK, how about another type of beans too? There menu is a little limited.

Funny thing about Chipotle and its customers, while crafting a healthy burrito, suddenly it goes pair-shaped with this use glop of sour creme!!
A tablespoon would be about right, but they give 5-10 times that!

Brown rice from a fake Mexican restaurant. The irony is so thick I could cut it with a tortilla.

BTW, I like brown rice.

I always ask for extra sour cream there. I like my meat positively swimming in white liquid.

The brown rice is fine. It does taste a bit different, but not much. I always tell them to put less rice anyway. I would much rather save that burrito-space for a more tasty ingredient.

elina-esque Food tip: Tell them to put half the normal amount of rice and to add fajita vegetables to your burrito. It will taste better and cost the same.

I like to top mine with guacamole instead of sour cream. At least avocado has some health benefits, and theirs is excellent and always fresh.

Costs extra though. *Thumbs Down*

Brown rice is terrible for you.
Whole grain rice is the best stuff, as far as I know.

Brown rice is whole grain.

oh yeah, the switch from brown to white rice is going to make this a real health food item. for those who would say "at least its some benefit." i disagree. the difference between brown and white rice is minimal.

Nope! No it's not! Next thing you know you'll be telling me that Beef-A-Roni isn't Italian!
