"If you're piling your already-damp lettuce with beans, wet salsas, sour cream, and the like, you could be compromising the structural integrity of the container and setting yourself up for a less-than-optimal eating experience. One of the hacks for ordering at Chipotle that you can try to combat this moisture is to order a bowl, but ask for the lettuce to be added to the dish last."
"The nice thing about the upside-down ordering hack is that it not only limits the need to use a separate bowl, but it also can be utilized for the chain's other bowl-based creations as well. Order your bowl - rice or no rice, beans or no beans - and enjoy it as is. When you're ready to store the leftovers in the fridge, invert the bowl so you won't have to worry about a soggy mess when lunchtime the next day rolls around."
Chipotle salads use chopped lettuce as a base, which can become soggy when combined with beans, wet salsas, sour cream, and other wet toppings. Ordering a bowl and asking for lettuce to be added last prevents lettuce from soaking and allows the bowl to be inverted so food can be eaten off the sturdier aluminum lid. The upside-down method works for any bowl configuration, rice or no rice. Requesting liquid toppings and sauces on the side lets diners control moisture, portioning, and helps prevent sogginess when storing leftovers in the fridge for later consumption.
