As a 10 year chipotle-eater (five of those now lived in NYC), I feel your pain. 9 dollar steak burritos are killing me, man. Here's the way to get the most bang for your buck:
No. 1 (and this one is hard for some of us burrito purists) DON'T GET A BURRITO! Get a burrito bowl, because the person making it won't be worried about the tortilla falling apart at the folding phase, and therefore is more likely to be liberal with their scoops.
No. 2 ASK FOR BOTH TYPES OF BEANS, and HALF-STEAK/HALF-CHICKEN (or any dual combination of meats.) This is FREE! When someone puts in half-steak/half-chicken, the ratio is never really 50/50, and you will usually end up with more meat than if you had only gotten one. You can even add the peppers if you'd like.
No. 3 GET ALL THE TOPPINGS. You can get an awesomely huge burrito bowl for the same price as a much smaller burrito. Buy a bag of chips (for very low cost) or ask for an extra tortilla at the end of the line. They should give you one for free!
Enjoy, my fellow Chipotle fiend. You are beautiful.
