Carnitas Bowl with your choice of rice, beans and toppings.
A Chipotle Carnitas bowl has everything a carnitas burrito has, served in a bowl instead of a tortilla, for the same price. Leaving out the 320-calorie tortilla makes the bowl the easiest way to cut calories and carbs, and you can ask for extra lettuce or fajita veggies at no charge.
Carnitas is Responsibly Raised pork seasoned with thyme, bay leaf, black pepper and crushed juniper berries, then braised and shredded by hand. It is the richest protein, with 210 calories and 12 g of fat per portion, and it sits between chicken and steak in price.
At about $10.40, it costs $0.75 more than the same order with chicken. Built with white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa and cheese, it has about 685 calories and 41 g of protein.
