Chipotle Mexican Grill announced the return of its popular Chicken al Pastor protein as the first limited-time menu offering of 2026, marking an acceleration in the company’s menu innovation strategy for the year.
Chicken al Pastor will be available for a limited time starting February 10 across Chipotle restaurants in the U.S., Canada, the UK, France and Germany. The item features grilled chicken marinated with adobo, morita peppers and achiote, balanced with pineapple, lime and cilantro. For the first time, it will also be offered in Chipotle’s High Protein Cup format.
As part of the launch, Chipotle Rewards members will receive early access to Chicken al Pastor on February 9 via the Chipotle app and website. The company said it plans to introduce three to four limited-time protein offerings in 2026, alongside new sides and dips, as it looks to drive higher customer engagement and transaction frequency.
