Business Insider Chipotle is now charging $0.25 for a side tortilla.
Chipotle fans are devastated.
The free tortilla hack has historically been one of customers' favorite ways to get free food from the chain.
The change comes because Chipotle has been able to gather more data about its ingredient costs during the pandemic.
More people are ordering ahead via app or the chain's website.
Typically, a burrito bowl packs in more ingredients than a burrito.
So, a bowl plus a free tortilla yields more food overall.
