Chipotle limited-time menu expansions

Overview

Chipotle has introduced several limited-time menu variations involving seasoned chicken. Initially, the company utilized a standard chicken seasoning profile consisting of adobo, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and salt, while offering a chicken al pastor option marinated with achiote and pineapple.

In a simultaneous launch, the company released a revamped Pollo Asado and new Chili Lime Chips. The Pollo Asado features a refreshed recipe of grilled adobo chicken seasoned with garlic, Mexican spices, and cilantro, finished with a citrus and lime juice coating. The Chili Lime Chips were developed in response to a viral social media trend where customers paired their meals with outside seasoned chips; the company noted that social media mentions of such pairings have increased by over 1,500% since 2022. The chips are produced without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

Availability for these items varies by region. In the United States and Canada, Pollo Asado returned on August 31, while Chili Lime Chips were released to Rewards members on August 31 before becoming available to the general public on September 4. In the United Kingdom, Pollo Asado was introduced as a limited-time offer at more than 20 Greater London locations starting September 1.
