The Official Build, Ingredient by Ingredient
Chipotle publishes this build on its Lifestyle Bowls menu: light white rice, black beans, chicken, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, guacamole, and extra romaine lettuce. Two details do the balancing work: the light rice scoop halves the usual carb load, and extra romaine adds plate volume for almost zero calories. Guac supplies the fat third of the triangle. It sits mid-lineup on the Lifestyle Bowls menu, between the lean Wholesome and the heavy High Protein.
