Chipotle goes public in one of the most successful restaurant IPOs in history — the stock doubles on its first day of trading.

Interesting facts about the Chicken Burrito

🌯

The average Chipotle burrito weighs around 1 pound (450g) — significantly larger than any competitor's equivalent. The tortilla alone weighs around 2.5oz.

🐔

Chipotle's chicken is marinated in a blend of adobo, cumin, garlic, oregano and lime juice before being grilled — the marinade recipe has remained unchanged since 1993.

🥑

Adding guacamole costs $2.95 extra and is one of the most complained-about fast food upcharges in the US. Chipotle spends approximately $450 million on avocados annually.

📊

The Chicken Burrito at 51g of protein is one of the highest-protein single-item fast food meals available — more protein than a Double Big Mac with fewer calories.

🌱

Chipotle uses only responsibly raised chicken — no antibiotics ever. This sourcing commitment costs significantly more than conventional supply chains and is a core brand differentiator.

🔢

There are theoretically 65,000 possible combinations of a Chipotle burrito based on available ingredients and options — the customisation model is central to the chain's identity.
