Status on the menus read
Smoked Brisket was on none of the 368 menus read on 25 September 2026. The brand’s page still describes it: “Chipotle’s Smoked Brisket is back, and it’s tender, hand-chopped in small batches, seasoned with Mexican spices, and finished with our unique brisket sauce made with smokey chili peppers. Smoked Brisket is made with Responsibly Raised® Beef Brisket and is only available for a limited time.” Its FAQ adds “Chipotle Brisket is 100% beef.” and explains the supply: “Chipotle estimates that only 5% of the U.S. beef supply meets its standards and is committed to partnering with new farmers and ranchers that align with its Food with Integrity principles to grow its supply chain.”
The record against the core beef
Smoked Brisket is the heaviest protein record the calculator keeps: 360 calories, 22 g of protein, 27 g of fat and 390 mg of sodium per 4 oz, against 150 calories for steak and 170 calories for barbacoa at the same portion. Its 27 g of fat is the difference; the protein is close (22 g against 21 g for steak).
Where it stands
The brand names it among the proteins it rotates: “Chipotle often introduces limited-time proteins such as Chipotle Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, Chipotle Honey Chicken, Smoked Brisket, and Chicken al Pastor.” No menu read carried it, so there is no read price; the two core beef proteins were $11.80 at the median on a burrito, $2.00 above chicken.
