Quick answer: at Chipotle, only the flour tortillas contain gluten. Order a bowl ($9.80 with chicken), a salad or crispy corn tacos ($9.80) and nothing in it contains wheat. Chips & guac ($4.90) and all salsas are safe too.
The Chipotle gluten-free menu
Because gluten sits in a single ingredient, the gluten-free menu at Chipotle is the whole menu minus the flour tortilla. The prices are the same as the regular menu: a bowl costs exactly what a burrito with the same protein costs.

Gluten-free tacos
Tacos at Chipotle come in soft flour or crispy corn tortillas; choose crispy corn and the order has no wheat in it. Three crispy chicken tacos with fresh tomato salsa, cheese and lettuce come to about 530 calories, slightly less than with flour tortillas, and cost the same $9.80. Chipotle notes that the crispy shells, like the chips and corn salsa, may carry trace gluten from the field.
Ordering gluten-free with celiac disease
- Say "gluten allergy" at the start of the order and ask the crew to change gloves — Chipotle offers this.
- Watch the line: the person who just rolled a burrito may handle your bowl; fresh gloves solve most of it.
- Decide about corn: chips, crispy shells and corn salsa carry Chipotle's trace-gluten warning — skip them if you react to traces.
- Ordering online is fine for avoiding gluten ingredients, but you cannot ask for a glove change, so in person is safer for celiac disease.
High protein without gluten
Most of Chipotle's High Protein menu qualifies: the protein cups, the High Protein – Low Calorie Bowl ($12.75) and the High Protein-High Fiber Bowl ($9.80) have no tortilla. The High Protein Taco and the Double High Protein Burrito use flour tortillas. More: Chipotle high protein menu.
