What the brand says
Both beans are marked vegan on the chart and included in any entree at no charge; the brand’s ingredients page on the black beans: “Condor, Blackhawk, Domino, Valentine, and Black Magic. No, that’s not a group of superheroes - it’s actually the delicious list of black bean varieties we serve at Chipotle. Not to be confused with the ever-popular pinto beans we also serve at Chipotle, black beans are the perfect accompaniment to chicken or steak.” The High Protein Menu page names beans as a protein hack: “Some favorite protein hacks for building high protein Chipotle meals include asking for double protein (Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas), adding both beans for extra plant-based protein, choosing a protein bowl instead of a burrito to fit more ingredients, adding fajita veggies for volume and nutrients, or pairing your meal with high protein sides like beans or extra protein.”
