Chipotle Tests Chorizo Meat Option

by Susannah Chen 2

The folks at Chipotle may be busy working on a Southeast Asian concept, but this hasn't stopped them from making new developments in their Mexican kitchen. The latest addition they've taken for a test drive? Chicken chorizo sausage.

The chicken chorizo, which the company describes as being made with "naturally raised pork and chicken sausage with herbs and spices," is currently available at most New York locations, and will roll out to select stores in Denver in about a week. Should the option become available nationwide, it would be the first new protein rolled out in years.

Chorizo always has been a popular Mexican breakfast item, so it'll be interesting to see how well it fares at a lunchtime favorite like Chipotle. Does chorizo sound like it has enough promise to go nationwide?
