Keto Chipotle orders: low-carb builds under 15g net carbs

Chipotle is surprisingly keto-friendly once you drop the rice, beans and tortilla. Here is how to build a high-fat, low-carb order — and the exact carb counts to watch.

Skip rice, beans and the tortilla. Build on a salad base with a protein, fajita veggies, cheese, sour cream and guacamole, and use limited salsa. A typical keto build lands around 600 calories with under 15g of net carbs and plenty of fat.

What to skip and what to load

On keto, the high-carb items are obvious — and the fat sources are where Chipotle shines:

A go-to keto build

Salad base (supreme greens), double chicken, fajita veggies, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and a spoon of fresh tomato salsa.

That comes to roughly 600–700 calories with about 12–15g of net carbs — most of the carbs coming from veggies, salsa and the fiber-rich guac, which you subtract for net carbs.

Watch the hidden carbs

A few items carry more carbs than people expect:

Net carbs and a caution

Net carbs subtract fiber from total carbohydrate, which is why high-fiber guacamole fits keto easily. Stick to fresh tomato or tomatillo salsas (not corn), keep veggies moderate, and lean on protein and fat. As always, this is general information — consult a professional before starting a ketogenic diet.

How we calculate these numbers

Figures are built ingredient-by-ingredient from publicly available restaurant nutrition information and cross-checked against the USDA FoodData Central database for standard serving sizes. Calories are rounded to the nearest 5 and macros to the nearest gram. Because portions are hand-scooped and recipes change, treat every value as a close estimate — not an exact lab measurement. We re-review our figures each quarter and update the date above when they change.
