What’s New in 2025? Chipotle Sofritas Menu Overhaul
1. Sofritas 2.0: Smoky Adobo Meets Korean Gochujang
Chipotle’s R&D team spent 2024 globetrotting for inspiration. The result? A Korean Gochujang Sofritas hitting menus in Q1 2025. Think: shredded tofu braised in gochujang (fermented chili paste), sesame oil, and garlic. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and pairs perfectly with kimchi slaw (a new topping).
Where to Find It: Test markets in L.A., Austin, and NYC starting January 2025.
2. Breakfast Sofritas Goes Nationwide
After years of whispers, Chipotle’s Breakfast Sofritas Burrito is rolling out nationwide. The lineup:
- Scrambled eggs (vegan option with Just Egg)
- Crispy hash browns
- Sofritas
- Roasted poblano salsa
Pro Tip: Add a drizzle of chipotle-infused maple syrup (a 2025 LTO) for sweet-heat chaos.
3. Sofritas “Al Pastor” (Limited-Time Offer)
Inspired by Mexico City street tacos, this LTO features sofritas marinated in pineapple, achiote, and guajillo peppers. It’s vegan, but meat-lovers won’t care it’s that good.
Availability: Summer 2025, tied to Chipotle’s “Global Flavors” campaign.
