Well, not the same as the burrito, but you know the tortilla is most of the calories, right, and my daughter says (because I was literally laughing out loud at your title) that you should get the burrito bowl. That written, I had an insane craving for Chipotle, and what I did was ate light for the day (like fruit salad and salad) and got a burrito with onion/pepper, pintos, chicken, then just salsa and lettuce, and 1/2 serving of the brown rice choice - no guac, no sour cream, no cheese. NO CHIPS on the side (but oh, they are so good), huh. I figured I can have it if I made it less "unhealthy" and lighted up the calories. Even without those things, it came in at 800 calories. But, planned for, its doable. I sprinkled a little lemon on it too from the soda bar and soooo delicious. You save a lot of calories eliminating just the cheese, sr. cr. and guac. Again, the tortilla is way too many calories, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do and have what you gotta have!
So, I want to tell you, don't worry so much about having it, if you plan for it. Having it will most likely keep you on your diet.
P.S. I agree--they are addictive. We have a place in town that makes the best eggplant parm I have ever had--I don't even make my own anymore--and I won't eat it anywhere else. We call it crackie parm. LOL
