Here’s a “life-changing” hack Chipotle boys everywhere will want to know.
One of the best parts of Chipotle is the ability to customize your entire meal — and one content creator shared his hack to get two meals out of one.
Tom Yanoshik (@tom.yanoshik on Instagram) revealed how he gets both a burrito and a bowl out of just one order.
All you have to do is order your bowl as usual, but ask for a tortilla on the side. He also suggested asking for a side of cheese, sour cream and vinaigrette.
To make a DIY burrito, lay the tortilla flat and put about half of the bowl into the middle of the tortilla.
Since the bowl portions are typically larger than burrito portions, you’ll be able to stuff your burrito with about half of the bowl contents and save the rest for later.
Once the burrito is stuffed and folded, Yanoshik puts a line of cheese into a hot skillet, making sure the cheese is about the size of the burrito.
When the cheese starts to get melty and bubble, he places the burrito on top of the cheese, with the open seam side down, and lets the cheese seal the burrito.
When the burrito is able to slide around the pan, the cheese has crisped and it’s ready to be flipped. Lightly brown it on the other side then put it back on your plate.
To wrap up his hack, Yanoshik made a DIY burrito sauce with Chipotle’s sour cream and vinaigrette, pouring some sour cream into the vinaigrette cup and shaking it up. He drizzles the sauce onto the burrito and takes a bite.
The content creator said that the hack was “life-changing” — especially since it saves money and gives an entire extra meal.
Recently customers have had beef with Chipotle over shrinking portion sizes and higher prices.
TikTok users have been “review bombing” the fast-food chain over the portion sizes — so much so that people claiming to be employees at Chipotle chimed in to say that their managers are instructing them to “fill up anyone’s bowls if they had a phone.”
However, the fast-food chain has denied any changes in portions. Last year, Laurie Schalow, chief corporate affairs and food safety officer at Chipotle, told People that “there have been no changes in [the company’s] portion sizes.”
In July, New York City-based Wells Fargo analyst Zachary Fadem put the theory to the test, ordering a total of 75 burrito bowls at multiple local locations and using the weight of the bowl as his measuring stick.
He found a wide range from location to location: The average bowl came in at about 21.5 ounces, but some were as light at 13.8 ounces.
