Chipotle Mexican Grill is reintroducing its carne asada menu item starting September 4 at locations across the country. The company announced that the steak option will be available for a limited time.
The decision to bring back carne asada follows data showing it was “Chipotle’s most-searched menu item” on Google, according to a news release from the restaurant chain.
Carne asada at Chipotle is prepared by marinating and seasoning steak with cumin, coriander, garlic, and oregano. The meat is then grilled and finished with fresh lime juice and cilantro. According to Chipotle, each serving contains 29 grams of protein.
In addition to the menu update, Chipotle will offer a buy one, get one free entree promotion on September 15 after 5 p.m. Customers who wear a college football jersey can take advantage of this deal at participating locations.
