As of March 14, Chipotle is selling spicy, sweet chicken al pastor at its 3,200 restaurants worldwide.
Chipotle currently offers adobo chicken as a protein option for a burrito, bowl, salad, taco or quesadilla. The new chicken al pastor is a second chicken option.
The name “al pastor” often refers to marinated meat cooked on a trompo, says Rick Martinez, formerly of Bon Appetit. Al pastor is a signature in Mexico but likely has origins in the Middle East.
