After testing 35 orders of the same basic burrito over the course of two weeks, an intern at the real estate site, Apartment List, came up with a foolproof, scientifically-tested way to get the most out of your order.

How did he do it? (His tip for getting this for free: “Ask for the tortillas at the end, when the staff just wants you to go away.”) Those who crave the real burrito experience can always wrap their burrito bowl ingredients themselves.
You can order two tortillas on the side for free. Grosz has got more tips for you-for instance, you should order both kinds of rice because people don’t have time to portion everything perfectly and will just give you lots of extra rice-and you should absolutely try them on your next visit! We’ve all found ourselves looking down at a short, stubby burrito, thinking: is that all?
Half/half meats – Put two types of meats in your burrito to get 54 percent for meat.
Overall, if you combine all these strategies, you’re looking at a potential burrito mass increase of up to 86%; that’s 31.7 ounces, up from the standard 17.0 ounces. Sure it will help maximize the weight but Grosz adds “we aren’t responsible for the gas you’ll be having afterward”. Sometimes the idea of wrapping a burrito yourself is the very thing that lead you to go to Chipotle in the first place.
The word hero gets thrown around a lot these days; it’s almost impossible to peruse the morning internet without hearing about some hero cat, or hero doctor. In each trial, he would deconstruct each burrito and weigh the ingredients. Not only do you have more burrito, but you can also tell your friends and family that your burrito is totally 100% healthy. Of the many individuals ordained by the masses as a hero, however, one clearly stands above the rest: Dylan Grosz.
Ask for fajita veggies and corn salsa – This increases the nutritional value of your meal as well as increasing the weight by 15 percent.
