Chipotle is adding chorizo to its menu in yet another move intended to get people back in stores following an E. coli outbreak last year.
The chain says the topping will be available in select cities including New York and San Diego starting Wednesday. It expects to introduce the chicken-and-pork sausage option nationally in the fall.
Earlier this week, Chipotle also said it plans to launch a loyalty program for the summer that will reward customers with free meals for frequent visits.
The moves are part of the chain's push to recover after a series of food scares last year sent sales plunging. In the first three months of the year, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.'s sales were down about 30 percent at stores open at least 13 months.
I’ve tried Chorizo a few times. Each time, it has smelled, and tasted unappealing. The color is much too bright and artificial looking. The kind I tried came in a long sausage like plastic tube. The contents are soft and stay soft.
Perhaps I’m not using it correctly. I prepared a veggy burger for someone, and considered topping the burger with a small ball of Chorizo. The Chorizo seemed to dissolve the moment it was heated. The smell remained less than appealing to my nose, so I just scrapped it off the burgers, calling it a failed experiment only I had to know about.
Milwaukee Brewers Sausage Race add Chorizo
The Chorizo was added for the 2006 season to commemorate Latino contributions to the game of baseball, as well as to acknowledge the Brewers’ growing Latino fanbase.[11] It ran its first race (and the only one of the 2006 season) on Saturday, July 29 to celebrate Cerveceros Day.
Well this is your lucky day. Read the article linked below about the best chorizo and egg tacos on this earth. What's better is that they are made by a 90 year old American hero who fought on an aircraft carrier at Iwo Jima, Okinawa, etc. He's run the restaurant out of the front of his house for 50 years. I swear before God everytime I'm in the DFW area I eat there. A truly fascinating person. An American hero. I always get the Chorizo and egg taco.

Once I was eating chorizo burritos with a father and son that I worked for in the food industry.
I asked ‘what’s chorizo made from?’
The son said ‘pork and beef’.
The dad said, ‘No, it’s cow and pig.. those parts can’t be called beef and pork.’
Still pretty yummy.
I was told that true chorizo is not beef tongue but specifically beef salivary glands.
It’s the tasty treat that tastes you back, or something.
I loves me some Chorizo.
You can have mine. This is what is in chorizo:
: Pork salivary glands, lymph nodes and fat, paprika, soy flour, salt, vinegar, spices, red pepper, garlic, and sodium nitrate
Sodium nitrate? Gross!
Since their recent problems making people sick with their food, they have come up with some new guidelines:
‘Effective immediately, tortillas will no longer be stored under the men’s room sink.”

And awesomeness. Delicious awesomeness.
I didnt know you were black?!
Sorry. I miss-read the title. Thot it said “.... to Win Black Customers”.
I love it to but know that its mexican food, not black food and was lost in trying to figure THAT out when I seen your post and I am still laughing cause I am such a racist SOB.
I could blame it on my strep-toe-cockus and resulting fever, but that would only legitimize things.......
I will never go there.
You know, I am all for using up every scrap of an animal; we hunt & fish, raise out own beef and pork, but I’ve GOT to draw the line at pig rectum!
I mean, stuffed sheep bladder (Haggis) MAYBE...
P.S. What’s the over/under on the first lawsuit from a Muslim complaining that this is on the menu? ;)
Sodium nitrate? Gross!
Yes, nasty.
Chorizo is an awesome example of using every part of the animal..
from snooter to pooter. Now I’ma add Chorizo to my next grocery list.
You're an anti-rectumite!

And an Anti-Dentite and proud of it! :)
I used to live a block away from El Matadore restaurant on North Ave. in Milwaukee. Ate breakfast there almost every day! I miss that place. None of them around me now open early.
that restaurant chain was founded by a leftist fag who hires tons of illegals. no wonder they have health code issues.
my shadow will never darken the doorway of a Chipotle.
