Chipotle quesadilla calories
Chipotle quesadilla calories and nutrition for every filling. A cheese quesadilla runs about 590 calories; add chicken and it climbs to roughly 770 with 52g of protein. The folded tortilla and melted cheese blend do most of the damage — the filling you pick barely moves the total.

Calories by filling
Don't forget the sides
The quesadilla comes with three included sides, and this is where a 770-calorie order quietly becomes a 1,200-calorie one. Fresh tomato salsa is nearly free at 25 calories; sour cream adds 110, queso 120 and guacamole 230. A chicken quesadilla with three salsas lands near 845 total; the same order with sour cream, queso and guac clears 1,200. Full side-by-side numbers live on the chips & sides page.
Kids quesadilla vs full quesadilla
The kids menu cheese quesadilla is a genuinely smaller item — a taco-size tortilla with a lighter cheese portion, around 300 calories before sides. If you want the quesadilla experience for roughly a third of the calories, the Chipotle kids meal is the quiet menu hack: adults can order it too. And if your goal is protein with fewer calories, a high-protein bowl delivers 78g for about 745 calories — more protein than any quesadilla, for less.
FAQ
A cheese quesadilla is about 590 calories; adding chicken takes it to roughly 770, and steak to about 740. The folded flour tortilla and the melted cheese blend account for most of the total, so the filling you choose moves the number less than you might expect.
About 770 calories, with roughly 52g of protein. It is one of the highest-protein single items on the menu, but the tortilla-and-cheese base also brings around 35g of fat, so it is not a lean order.
Usually not. A chicken quesadilla (about 770 calories) is close to a chicken burrito in calories but carries more saturated fat from the grilled cheese layer and comes with fewer vegetables. A burrito bowl beats both for protein per calorie.
The plain cheese quesadilla at about 590 calories, with fresh tomato salsa (25 calories) on the side instead of creamy dips. Skipping the queso, sour cream and guacamole sides saves 110 to 230 calories each.
Roughly 46g of protein at about 740 calories. Chicken edges it out with about 52g for 770 calories, making chicken the better protein-per-calorie pick between the two.
