Chipotle is trying to make its gigantic burritos healthier

They're adding a trendy new ingredient

A meal from Chipotle probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of clean eating, but the fast casual restaurant is hoping to change that. Chipotle is currently testing quinoa at its New York City test kitchen, and if it's a big enough hit, it might become a permanent substitute for the brand's beloved cilantro lime rice.Chipotle's test kitchen started serving the trendy alternative on Monday. A spokesperson for the restaurant, Chris Arnold, told Business Insider that the new menu addition is a mix of "red and gold quinoa tossed with a little citrus juice, cumin, and freshly chopped cilantro." It essentially has all the same flavors of cilantro lime rice, though it's made with a completely different grain.Quinoa sits alongside a handful of items Chipotle has added to its menu in the last two years. The brand introduced chorizo back in 2016, though the spicy pork and sausage mixture's time on the menu was short-lived, as it was removed from the lineup last summer. Then, after what seemed like ages of customer requests, the restaurant introduced chorizo this past fall — but it has received some less-than-stellar reviews. Of course, there's no word yet whether quinoa will get a nationwide rollout, but if it does, hopefully it'll be able to make a better first impression than the brand's queso.
