Chipotle steak burrito calories
Chipotle steak burrito calories come to about 1,055 for the classic build — flour tortilla, white rice, black beans, steak, fresh tomato salsa, cheese and sour cream. Steak is one of the leaner fillings: at 150 calories and 21g of protein per 4 oz, it sits just under chicken and below carnitas. Below is the full Chipotle steak burrito nutrition, broken down ingredient by ingredient, plus the easiest way to trim that number — going bowl-style.
What's in it
Chipotle steak burrito nutrition: full macros
Here's the full macro breakdown for the standard build, listed ingredient by ingredient so you can see exactly where each number comes from. It totals about 1,055 calories, with 51g of protein, 120g of carbs, 38g of fat and roughly 2,260mg of sodium.
In calorie terms, that lands at roughly 19% protein, 45% carbs and 32% fat — around 204 calories from protein alone. Fiber comes in near 12g, most of it courtesy of the black beans. The number to keep an eye on is sodium: a single steak burrito carries 2,260mg, close to a full day's recommended limit.
Calorie variations
Steak burrito vs steak bowl
The tortilla is the single biggest lever on this order. A flour tortilla piles on 320 calories and 50g of carbs before you've added a single filling. Order those same ingredients in a bowl and you're down to about 735 calories — a 320-calorie saving that costs you nothing in protein. Go a little leaner and hold the sour cream, and the classic steak bowl lands around 625 calories. That's why bowls are the default for anyone tracking macros. For the full side-by-side across every filling, see our burrito vs bowl breakdown.
Protein, carbs and sodium in a steak burrito
Protein — about 51g. The steak itself brings 21g per 4 oz serving, and the rest is made up by beans, cheese, rice and the tortilla — a solid hit for one meal. Swap in chicken and the same burrito climbs to roughly 62g; go double steak and you're up near 72g.
Carbs — about 120g. The tortilla alone owns 50g of that. White rice chips in 40g and black beans another 22g, though the beans also bring 7g of fiber, so your net carbs read a little friendlier than the raw total suggests. Total fiber for the burrito sits near 12g.
Sodium — about 2,260mg. This is the figure most people overlook. One burrito puts you at nearly the full day's 2,300mg limit, driven mostly by the tortilla, salsa and cheese. Worried about sodium? Dropping the cheese and one salsa is the fastest fix.
Steak vs chicken burrito: which should you order?
The steak vs chicken burrito question is closer than most people expect. A 4 oz portion of steak is 150 calories and 21g of protein; the same amount of chicken is 180 calories and 32g of protein. Chicken costs you 30 extra calories but hands back 11 extra grams of protein — the better trade if you're chasing a protein target. Zoom out to the whole burrito and steak lands near 1,055 calories with 51g of protein, against about 1,085 and 62g for the chicken burrito. Pick steak for the flavor and slightly fewer calories, chicken for the best protein-per-calorie. Want leaner still? The high-protein chicken bowl drops the tortilla entirely.
How to order a lighter steak burrito
You don't have to skip the steak burrito to save calories. A few small swaps do most of the work:
Stack the first three and a loaded steak burrito drops from 1,055 to about 515 calories, and you keep every gram of steak protein. Push the other direction — a barebones steak burrito with rice, beans, one salsa and no cheese or sour cream — and you land around 810 calories, right in line with the figure in our guide to the calories in a Chipotle burrito.
How much does a Chipotle steak burrito cost?
Steak is one of Chipotle's premium proteins, so a steak burrito typically runs about $9 to $11 before tax, depending on your city — usually a dollar or so more than the chicken version. Double steak tacks on another $4 to $5. Prices shift by location and over time, so treat these as a ballpark; either way, the calorie and macro math on this page holds no matter what you pay.
Steak burrito calories at other chains (and homemade)
Chipotle's 1,055 sits right in the middle of the fast-casual pack. Qdoba and Moe's land in the same four-digit territory, Taco Bell comes in far lower because the burrito itself is much smaller, and anything rolled at home depends on your tortilla and how heavy you go on cheese.
Qdoba, Moe's and Taco Bell figures per each chain's published nutrition data as of July 2026; hand-scooped builds vary by location. Homemade and frozen numbers are typical ranges, not a single product.
FAQ
About 1,055 for the build above. Steak is one of the leaner proteins, so a steak burrito tends to come in slightly below the carnitas or chicken-with-extras versions.
Per serving, steak (150 cal) is lower than chicken (180 cal), but chicken delivers more protein (32g vs 21g), so chicken wins on protein-per-calorie.
Order it as a bowl to skip the 320-calorie tortilla, drop the sour cream, and keep salsa for flavor.
A Chipotle steak burrito has about 51g of protein. The 4 oz steak portion contributes 21g, and the rest comes from black beans, cheese, rice and the tortilla. Order double steak and you push it to roughly 72g. Steak gives you a little less protein than chicken, which lands near 62g in the same burrito.
A steak burrito has about 120g of carbs, and the flour tortilla alone accounts for 50g. White rice adds 40g and black beans another 22g, though the beans also bring 7g of fiber. Order it as a bowl to skip the tortilla and carbs drop to around 70g.
It can be. Steak is one of the leaner proteins, and the burrito delivers 51g of protein and 12g of fiber. But at 1,055 calories and 2,260mg of sodium it is a heavy single meal — the sodium alone is nearly a full day's worth. Order it as a bowl, skip the sour cream, and add fajita veggies to make it lighter and more balanced.
About 1,205 by our estimate. A second 4 oz portion of steak adds 150 calories to the standard 1,055-calorie build and lifts protein from 51g to roughly 72g, which makes double steak one of the cheapest calorie-for-protein upgrades on the menu.
