I believe that the pinto beans at Chipotle are not vegetarian either!

They are now. I asked at various restaurant locations and looked on their website. Both bean options are now vegan.
If your location offers sofritas, try it. Great. (chopped tofu and peppers)

Christina – That is true. Chipotle clearly states on their web site that their pinto beans are prepared with bacon. It’s just one more reason to load on the black beans, red onions & green peppers!

I love to eat at Chipotle, because it’s one of the very few “fast food” places where I feel that I can eat healthily. I am a vegan, so I always order brown rice and black beans. The pinto beans are cooked in bacon (they recently revised their signage to point this out to customers), so they’re not a choice for me. Besides, I knew that black beans were more nutritious than pintos. At home, we eat all kinds of beans mixed together in vegan soups and chilis.

Thank you for the video. It was very cute and provided good information. I was glad to find out that black beans are cancer fighters and that pintos are good for the heart. Again, many thanks. August 13, 2012

Yes, what’s your point? This information is certainly shared with a motive, but that doesn’t make it untrue.

I just wanted the answer, so was annoyed when I saw it was a video. But short and to the point…well done.

Question on to soak or not to soak black beans. When cooking them presoaked, they lose their vibrant black color. Is it healthier to cook them from their dry state so that the nutrients int he black coating don’t seep out into the soaking water?
