Chipotle Gluten Free Menu 2025
Chipotle is the place to go if you’re looking for fast food made without gluten. This fast-casual chain has been very open about what ingredients contain wheat. Chipotle does not list gluten or wheat as an allergy in many dishes. The only gluten-containing item is the flour tortilla. You can easily avoid dairy by choosing the other ingredients in your salad, bowl or tacos.
Chipotle is a good option if you want to avoid gluten. Chipotle is no different than other chain restaurants in that accidental contamination with gluten from shared utensils and work surfaces can occur. Chipotle is not a safe place to eat if you have Celiacs or any other health condition that requires you to avoid gluten.

Chipotle Gluten Intolerance Official Statement
Chipotle has a very user-friendly and handy allergen chart available on its website. You can view it here. It also notes that wheat and gluten are “combined since all Chipotle gluten-containing items contain wheat.”
This page also mentions gluten:
If you are gluten-free, do not eat our tortillas. Please let us know if you have a gluten sensitivity and want us to switch our gloves. Just tell us at the beginning of your order. Items containing corn (corn tortillas, chips, and crispy corn tortillas) and corn salsa may contain trace amounts of gluten due to possible co-mingling in the field.
Ask the staff to scoop up your ingredients with a fresh serving spoon. They usually don’t mind, especially if you’re friendly. I also acknowledge that they take more time and appreciate their extra effort.
The extra-friendly staff at Chipotle even told me they would make my tacos using a new batch of guac if I waited a few minutes. This could reduce the risk of contamination.
What To Avoid At Chipotle
You can avoid eating soft flour tacos, burritos and quesadillas if you don’t want wheat. You can still build your bowls or salads using whatever ingredients you want. You can get tacos in crispy corn shells. Some Chipotle stores sell gluten-containing beer.
