Chipotle uses two main types of tortillas: flour tortillas and corn tortillas. The flour tortillas, primarily made from wheat flour, water, canola oil, and salt, are soft, chewy, and used mainly for burritos and quesadillas. These tortillas contain gluten and are high in calories. Corn tortillas used by Chipotle are gluten-free, made from corn masa flour, and have a crunchy texture, typically used for tacos and chips. Chipotle's tortillas are specially made, sometimes by suppliers like Mission, and are known for being preservative-free and having a larger size compared to typical grocery store tortillas. The flour tortillas are noted for their elasticity and smooth texture, aided by the use of vegetable oil rather than lard, differentiating them from traditional tortillas.
