Chipotle Mexican Grill

I love it when I find franchises that are all over the U.S. that I know is gluten-free. Not like, "We can accommodate you and maybe you'll get sick?" but everything, except the flour tortillas are GF. It makes traveling so much easier, and just one more place to eat on the list. So just order a burrito bowl and it's somewhere around $5.49. And very yummy. The meat is A-OK too. 

(I promise to update this more. I've been on vacation, and still am, but have realized how I've neglected this so I am back!)

Terrible branding (looks like some internet logo to me!), but great food! My in-laws were the ones to tell me about this delightful place. It's sorta like Baja Fresh meets Cafe Rio. Here are 8 reasons why I would eat there every meal if possible. And a few tips to look out for.

1. Dowtn. SLC, Draper, and Alpine/Highland area. I think right where highway 74 is.
2. Order the Burrito Bowl (WITHOUT TORTILLA, obviously). but everything else is GF. Even the honey pork.
3. At the SLC one, I forgot to tell them to change spoons, and I was very sick about a half hour after eating it. If they don't change spoons, or gloves, a lot of cross-contamination can happen (if you watch, you'll see them dip the spoon in the rice, then lay it on the tortilla, and spread it. Making the bottom of the spoon rub on the tortilla.
 4. I go to the Alpine one a lot since it's closest to Provo, and they totally know me now, and I don't have to ask for them to do anything. They even remember that I like just cheese & sour cream as toppings, not salsa & guac. And luckily there is a guy there that speaks English just in case I go into panic mode. So I'm sure if you go in there, just simply tell them that you get sick from eating the tortillas, nothing more, and they'll totally know what you're talking about. Don't mention 'gluten' or 'celiac' or they'll be mind boggled.
5. Always so clean.
6. Usually not crowded. But don't be afraid by the lack of people there. It's fairly a new company and I'm sure  I just go at odd times; not regular eating hours.
7. Sometimes the workers don't speak english. But work with them for a second. One time, I had to tell this woman to change her gloves 4 times. She would put them on, pick up a toritilla, then I'd tell her, "no no, I can't have the tortilla. It makes me VERY sick." Then she'd do it again and again. Finally she figured it out, and gave me a really small portion.
8. Start a frequent card. Every twelve bowls you get, you get a free one.

Yum yum. Just making this post has made me want to get some right now!

 I am more than happy that these are gluten-free because I already had a pattern of eating these maybe once a week.. BEFORE I found out about my love-hate relationship with the gluten-free diet. You can find these in the freezer section at almost any grocery store. The chicken ones don't cook as well as the beef. But if cooked right, they are just as good :)

What I've done almost my whole life with these taquitos is mix my favorite salsa with sour cream (DAIRY is the best, and totally gluten-free). You will not be disappointed.
