[Chipotle's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-chorizo) Mexican Grill is offering more [fast food vegan options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tgi-fridays-vegan-menu) with its stuffed Vegan Sofrita.

The Sofrita is made from soy and braised with chipotle chilies, roasted poblanos and aromatic spices, then stuffed with optional rice, beans and tomatoes. This spicy and delicious option is ideal for vegans -- who unfortunately already have such a hard time finding fast food options.

This Sofrita that [Chiptole's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-guajillo-steak) is introducing is pleasing to both vegans and meat-eaters. Providing options to the menu makes consumers interested in the company, and since there is hardly a handful of vegan fast food options, Chipotle's will be the number one choice for something quick and satisfying.
