NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) is celebrating National Burrito Day with the return of its Burrito Vault game, this year featuring a new gameplay mode called Double Protein Power Hour and more than $2 million in Chipotle prizes.¹ Available to guests in the U.S. and Canada, Burrito Vault: Double Protein Edition challenges Chipotle Rewards members to guess the hourly burrito order combination for a chance to unlock prizes. Double Protein Power Hour will occur once each day, doubling the number of prizes compared with regular gameplay hours, and all prizes include double protein.
