According to statements made to CNBC, Chipotle got rid of chorizo to make room for queso, which launched nationally on September 12, 2017. Apparently, chorizo only accounts for 3 percent of protein sales at the chain.
Chipotle's chorizo first appeared at select locations in June of last year ahead of a national rollout that October. It featured a spicy blend pork and white-meat chicken seasoned with paprika, toasted cumin, and chipotle peppers (Personally, I liked it much better than their queso, which is grainy).
Chipotle's remaining protein options are steak, carnitas, chicken, barbacoa, and sofritas.
