Gluten Free Me

Gluten Free at Chipotle

This week’s blog post is all about gluten free foods at Chipotle, and their gluten free experience as a whole.

For menu items, hard tacos and burrito bowls are gluten free because both corn and rice are gluten free. However, their website warns about cross contamination of wheat and corn in the growing process. All of their toppings are gluten free, but be aware of cross contamination between items like lettuce and cheese, which are grabbed without changing gloves.

The Gluten Free Experience

If you suffer from a gluten allergy or sensitivity, let your Chiptole workers know and they will wipe down the counters, ask everyone to change gloves, and alert you of any cross contamination with toppings. They also verified with me that they have a dedicated fryer for their corn chips, so they are gluten free as well. This was all done as a procedure, so it is not uncommon to ask. However, it might be best to wait to order until the line is short because it does take a bit longer for them to clean their counters and follow you through the topping process.

Hi my name is Nicole. I am a teenager dealing with a gluten allergy and I’ve been gluten free for about 3 years. I  got so stressed out trying to navigate a gluten free diet without any help, so I wanted to be that influence in someone’s life, so I started a blog! I hope to share tips, as well as recipes to help others.
