Illegal Pete's Paleo burrito bowl with lettue instead of rice.

Whether you’re driving from Boulder to Bozeman, stuck at an airport, in need of a fast meal, or strolling down Pearl Street, there is always a way to create a Paleo meal.  Have you been in a situation where you just couldn’t figure out a Paleo menu option?  Post to comments and we’ll flush out a plan.  In the meantime, here’s how we eat Paleo at our favorite local burrito shop, Illegal Pete’s.

Ordering Paleo at Illegal Pete’s
You: “Hi!  Could I please get a burrito bowl with lettuce instead of rice?”
Super Cool IP’s staff: “Sure, what kind of meat?”
You: “Shredded beef (or steak).”  (No chicken, it’s not gluten-free.)
Super Cool IP’s staff: “Rice or beans?”
You: “No thanks.  Could I get (choose any or all of the following) fajita vegetables, (any) salsa, onions, guacamole, and cilantro.
Super Cool IP’s staff: “Chips or tortilla?”
You: “Neither, thanks.”

    Wow, I had no idea the chicken at Illegal Pete’s was not gluten-free. Is that typical of many restaurants that the chicken (or other meat) comes with gluten?

  • Emily

    I was wondering the same thing as Karl. Is the chicken at Chipotle gluten free?

  • Olivia

    The chicken @ Chipotle is in fact gluten-free..
    I’d say 50 percent (maybe even more) of the time you ask if there is gluten in something that “shouldn’t” have gluten, there is. With celiacs.. It doesn’t hurt to ask, but it does if you dont!!:)

    If you flirt with the Chipottle ladies they’ll give you extra fajitta peppers. Fact.
