Do you love eating Chipots? Do you call it Chipots? For those of us who just can't get enough of that cilantro lime rice, I give you Chipotle menu hacks, brought to us by BuzzFeed Yellow. Their charming new video illustrates the myriad creations you can convince your friendly neighborhood Chipotle to make that might not strictly be on the menu… and now I want them all for lunch.

Some of the hacks are pretty standard; it’s not totally surprising, for example, to find that you can make nachos by asking for a burrito bowl and replacing the rice with chips (for the curious, it’ll cost you $7.50 to do it). Some of them, however, are a little off the beaten track: To get a “burritodilla,” all you need to do is order a half-wrapped burrito pressed like a quesadilla (which, by the way, is cheaper than the nachos — it’s only $6.25). And if you want to go totally nuts? Well, then. I see you like to live dangerously. Try ordering a “quesarito”—a burrito wrapped in a quesadilla for the low, low price of $12.05.

Of course, if you’re not a Chipotle fan, these menu hacks probably won’t help you; if coffee’s more your jam, though, at least we can point you in the direction of the Starbucks secret menu. Or just go check out Hack the Menu — it bills itself as “the ultimate secret menu source,” and with options ranging from In-n-Out to Jamba Juice, there’s a little something for everyone there.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go do something about the massive taco craving I seem to have developed within the past 20 minutes…
