Chipotle’s culinary vice-president Nevielle Panthaky recommends the Smoked Brisket Burrito Bowl, which combines white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa and cheese, for those trying Smoked Brisket for the first time, and says that this is not the typical brisket experience, as it is crafted using classic cooking methods.

The dish is prepared using responsibly raised beef, and the meat is seared on a plancha [cooking plate], seasoned with a blend of spices including smoked serrano and chipotle chili peppers, then hand-chopped and finished with a brisket sauce infused with smoky chili peppers.

Chipotle emphasised that it prepares the Smoked Brisket in small batches throughout the day to ensure optimal freshness.
