Quick answer: Chipotle calories for a standard order: chicken burrito 975, chicken bowl 655, three chicken tacos 560, chicken salad with vinaigrette 680, chips & guac 770. Each scoop of guac adds 230, sour cream or cheese 110.
Chipotle calories by protein and format
The table shows Chipotle calories for every protein in the four main formats, all with the same fillings: white rice and black beans (not in the salad), fresh tomato salsa and cheese. Swapping protein changes the total by 60 at most; the format matters far more, because the burrito tortilla alone is 320.

Calories of every ingredient
Every Chipotle order is a sum of these numbers. Rice and the tortilla are the big carbohydrates, guacamole and the vinaigrette the big fats; the salsas are the bargain, from 15 to 80 a scoop.

Calories of popular orders
Real orders rarely stop at the standard build. A few common ones, summed from the same chart:
Chipotle calories of popular orders
| Order | Calories | What is in it |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken bowl, everything on it | 1,080 | cilantro-lime white rice, black beans, chicken, fresh tomato salsa, roasted chili-corn salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, romaine lettuce |
| Steak burrito with sour cream and guac | 1,285 | flour tortilla, cilantro-lime white rice, pinto beans, steak, fresh tomato salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole |
| Light chicken salad (no rice, no cheese) | 360 | supergreens salad mix, chicken, black beans, fajita vegetables, tomatillo-green chili salsa |

| Three crispy corn chicken tacos | 530 | crispy corn tortilla, crispy corn tortilla, crispy corn tortilla, chicken, fresh tomato salsa, cheese, romaine lettuce |
The spread is wide: the same restaurant can serve you a 400-calorie salad or a burrito three times that size. The difference is in four scoops — tortilla, rice, sour cream and guacamole.

Sides, kids meals and drinks
Chips are the calorie trap on the Chipotle menu. A regular bag is 540 — more than a chicken bowl without rice — and serves two according to Chipotle. Dips add 25 (salsa) to 240 (queso). Kids meals are listed at 350–810 for Build Your Own tacos and 530–710 for the quesadilla, depending on the side and drink.

How to cut calories at Chipotle
- Bowl instead of burrito: −320, same price.
- Light rice or no rice: −105 to −210.
- Fajita veggies instead of cheese: −90; tomatillo-green salsa instead of corn salsa: −65.
- Skip sour cream (−110) and keep the guacamole if you want the fat that fills you up — but not both.
- Dressing on the side: the honey vinaigrette is 220, as much as a scoop of rice.
- Share the chips: half a bag is 270.
Chicken gives the most protein for its calories, which helps if you are counting: see the Chipotle high protein menu. Prices for all of the above: Chipotle menu with prices.
About these calorie counts
Chipotle publishes calories per ingredient in a standard portion, not per menu item. Every total on this page is our sum of those official values for the build stated; the presets in the meals table are Chipotle's own figures. Portions are scooped by hand, so a real order can come out above or below the standard. Source: Chipotle US nutrition facts, read October 27, 2026.
