Le Burrito, S'il vous plaît

Not that I needed an excuse to eat at Chipotle Mexican Grill, (I eat there a few times a week anyway) but they have given me yet another one all the same. Introducing “Le Burrito” – made with naturally raised chicken, black beans, cilantro lime rice, mild tomato salsa and freshly made guacamole – available at any Chipotle from July 5-27! This limited-time offering will be wrapped to your order in honor of the American cycling team, Garmin-Chipotle Presented by H30, which will compete in the Tour de France race. Chipotle has sponsored team Garmin-Chipotle for the past three years because the team upholds its mission of integrity in everything it does. This professional biking team says “NO” to performance enhancing drugs just as Chipotle says “NO” to hormones, antibiotics or other drugs in the pork, beef and vegetarian-fed chicken in Chipotle’s burritos, tacos and bowls (burritos without the tortilla). Sounds like both the cyclists and the wrappers are into fast and healthy lifestyles!

Chipotle has led the pack in riding its vision of Food With Integrity -- using fresh ingredients that are sustainably grown and naturally raised with respect for the animals, the land and the farmers who produce the food. Try a healthy Le Burrito at any of more than 730 Chipotle restaurants!
Team Garmin-Chipotle Presented by H30 is a professional American cycling team dedicated to promoting ethical sporting and developing the next generation of cycling champions. The team's 25 riders come from all over the world to achieve one common goal: ride clean and ride hard. In 2007, the team partnered with the Agency for Cycling Ethics (ACE) to create the most progressive anti-doping system in the professional sports world. Each rider will undergo combined voluntary testing at least 700 times throughout the 2008 season, 20 times the number of tests that most professional cyclists are subject to annually. The 2008 team is led by five national champions, two Tour de France Yellow Jersey wearers, a Tour de France polka-dot jersey wearer, one former World Champion, and a previous winner of Paris-Roubaix.
