How much does a Chipotle burrito cost?
Burrito prices are set by protein. Veggie and chicken usually sit at the lower end of the range, and steak and barbacoa at the higher end, with carnitas and sofritas in between at most locations. The prices in the table are typical published US prices updated Nov 6, 2026, and your local price could be higher or lower. Cities with higher costs tend to charge more, and delivery apps often add markups and fees on top.
A few things that are usually extra, not included:
- Guacamole and queso, which are add-ons at most locations.
- A second portion of protein (often called "double meat").
- Sides and drinks.
Things that are normally included in the base price: rice, beans, fajita vegetables, salsa, lettuce, and cheese or sour cream. If you want to see the total for a specific order, the price calculator adds it up for you.
Calories and protein in a burrito
The burrito is the highest-calorie way to eat the same ingredients because the tortilla is added on top. Here is how the pieces compare. The calorie figures are for standard servings.
| Ingredient | Cal | Fat g | Carbs g | Fiber g | Sugar g | Protein g | Sodium mg | Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flour Tortilla (burrito) | 320 | 9 | 50 | 3 | 0 | 8 | 600 | Wheat |
| Soft Flour Tortilla (each, 1 of 3) | 83.3 | 2.7 | 13.3 | 0 | 0 | 2.3 | 160 | Wheat |
| Crispy Corn Tortilla (each, 1 of 3) | 66.7 | 3 | 9.7 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | None listed |
| Supergreens Lettuce Blend | 15 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 15 | None listed |
Values are per standard serving and are estimates. Compare with Chipotle's nutrition calculator and the allergen chart before relying on them.
The tortilla is the single largest item at 320 calories and brings 50 grams of carbs. Rice adds another 210 calories per serving, and beans add 130. Protein varies:

Build a burrito step by step
You choose in the same order every time. Knowing the order helps you decide faster and ask for the right portions.
1. Pick the protein
Chicken is the lean, high-protein option. Steak and barbacoa are richer and beefier. Carnitas is slow-cooked pork. Sofritas is a plant-based tofu option, and veggie means skipping the meat for extra beans and vegetables. If you are comparing, our proteins guide ranks them.
2. Choose rice and beans
White rice and brown rice have a similar calorie count per serving, so the choice is mostly about taste and texture. Black beans and pinto beans are also similar. You can ask for half-and-half of the beans or light rice if you want to cut calories without losing volume.
3. Add vegetables and salsa
Fajita vegetables are low in calories (20 per serving) and add flavor. Salsa choices range from mild tomato salsa to spicier red salsa, and the lighter ones are close to free in calories. Here is the salsa breakdown:
| Ingredient | Cal | Fat g | Carbs g | Fiber g | Sugar g | Protein g | Sodium mg | Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh Tomato Salsa | 25 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 550 | None listed |
| Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa | 80 | 1.5 | 16 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 330 | None listed |
| Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa | 15 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 260 | None listed |
| Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa | 30 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 500 | None listed |
Values are per standard serving and are estimates. Compare with Chipotle's nutrition calculator and the allergen chart before relying on them.
4. Finish with toppings
Cheese, sour cream, guacamole and queso add richness and calories quickly. Lettuce is almost free. Pick one or two rich toppings rather than all of them if you are watching calories.
| Ingredient | Cal | Fat g | Carbs g | Fiber g | Sugar g | Protein g | Sodium mg | Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sour Cream | 110 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 30 | Milk |
| Cheese (Monterey Jack) | 110 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 190 | Milk |
| Romaine Lettuce | 5 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | None listed |
| Guacamole | 230 | 22 | 8 | 6 | 1 | 2 | 370 | None listed |
| Queso Blanco | 120 | 9 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 250 | Milk |
Values are per standard serving and are estimates. Compare with Chipotle's nutrition calculator and the allergen chart before relying on them.
Burrito size and portions
A burrito is big enough for a full meal for most adults. Because the tortilla is limited in size, extra filling makes it harder to wrap, and it may tear. If you ask for double protein and extra toppings, ask the employee to wrap carefully or consider a bowl instead (see the burrito bowl guide).
If you want a smaller meal, you can order a kids-size burrito at some locations or save half for later. Some restaurants will also wrap the burrito in foil and cut it in half on request. Details vary, so ask when you order.

Tips for ordering a burrito
- Order ahead in the app when you can. You can see the choices on screen and review the build before you pay.
- Say "light" or "extra" for toppings. It works for rice, beans, cheese, sour cream and salsas.
- Ask for a second tortilla if you want it doubled. Some locations do this and some do not. It is not standard.
- Get the filling in a bowl, then wrap it yourself. Not practical for most, but it works if you are splitting a large order.
- Check the bag before you leave. Foil-wrapped burritos look alike, and mix-ups happen. Writing a name or build on the foil, which some locations do, makes this easier.
If you want the burrito experience with fewer calories, order a bowl and ask for a tortilla on the side to eat a bit of at the end. It is a flexible compromise.
Burrito vs bowl vs tacos
The same ingredients can be served three ways. The burrito has the most calories because of the large tortilla. A bowl removes the tortilla. Tacos use three small shells, so the portion is smaller for the same fillings. Compare them on the burrito bowl and tacos pages.
What to expect when you order in person
At the counter, the line moves quickly in a fixed order: tortilla, rice, beans, protein, salsa and toppings, then the wrap. Because the person serving you decides the scoop size, a friendly request such as "just a little rice" or "extra chicken, please" goes a long way. If you are in a hurry or the restaurant is busy, keep your order simple and use the app next time to customize at your own pace.
Once your burrito is built, it is pressed and wrapped in foil. If you plan to eat it later, keep the foil on, since it holds the shape and the warmth. For a burrito that needs to travel, let it sit for a minute before cutting so the filling settles.
Reheating and leftovers
A burrito keeps reasonably well in the refrigerator for a day. For the best results, unwrap it and heat it in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side, which crisps the tortilla. A microwave is faster but leaves it softer. Food safety guidelines recommend eating refrigerated leftovers within a few days and reheating to steaming hot, so do not let a burrito sit out for long. Burritos with guacamole or sour cream are best eaten fresh.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Chipotle burrito?
It varies by location and protein. Check the price table above for the typical price, and then confirm in the app or at your restaurant, since local prices can differ.
How many calories are in a chicken burrito?
A standard build with rice, black beans, tomato salsa, cheese and lettuce comes to roughly 980 calories. Add guacamole or sour cream and it goes up. Try the burrito nutrition calculator for your build.
How much protein is in a burrito?
That depends on the protein you pick. The chicken build above has 58 grams. Doubling the protein adds 32 grams more with chicken.
Is a burrito bigger than a bowl?
The fillings are the same, and the burrito adds the tortilla. Many people find the bowl a bit easier to fill generously because there is no wrapping limit.
Can I get a burrito without a tortilla?
Yes, that is a bowl. See the bowl page.
Can I order a burrito with no rice?
Yes. You can leave off any ingredient, and many people skip the rice to save calories and room.
Does Chipotle have a half-size burrito?
Some locations offer smaller formats through the kids menu. Lineup changes, so check the app. See the kids menu page.
Is the burrito gluten-free?
No. The standard flour tortilla contains wheat. For a gluten-conscious order, a bowl is the usual choice, though cross-contact is still possible. See the allergen menu guide.
