Chipotle veggie burrito calories

Chipotle veggie burrito calories and full vegetarian nutrition, broken down ingredient by ingredient. Skipping the meat sounds lighter, but guac is free on veggie orders — so this one is far from low-calorie. Pack rice, beans, fajita veggies, salsa, cheese and guac into a tortilla and you land near 1,045 calories, plus a respectable 31g of protein from the beans and cheese.

What's in it

Inside a Chipotle veggie burrito: a flour tortilla wrapped around cilantro-lime rice, beans, fajita veggies, salsa and cheese, plus the guacamole Chipotle adds free on any veggie order. That free guac is the whole story here. It is the one build where the roughly 230-calorie scoop costs nothing, and because almost everyone keeps it, a meat-free burrito is not the light option people expect. Want sofritas for protein? It slots in like any meat. Here is every component in a standard build, calorie by calorie.

Chipotle veggie burrito nutrition and macros

Build a standard Chipotle veggie burrito — white rice, black beans, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, cheese and the free guacamole in a flour tortilla — and the total sits around 1,045 calories. Carbs run high at roughly 130g, since a 50g-carb tortilla stacks on top of the rice and beans. Most of the 45g of fat traces to the cheese and the guac, while protein comes in near 31g from the beans, cheese and tortilla. The figure to watch is sodium: about 2,250mg, close to a full day in a single burrito.

*Percent daily values based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Net carbs work out to about 111g after fiber. Estimates cross-checked against USDA FoodData Central; hand-scooped portions vary.

Calorie variations

Is the Chipotle veggie burrito vegan?

The Chipotle vegetarian burrito is meat-free by default, but it only counts as vegan once you skip the cheese and sour cream. Everything else in the build is already plant-based — the flour tortilla, cilantro-lime rice, black or pinto beans, fajita veggies, every salsa, the guacamole and the sofritas — so a vegan veggie burrito comes down to a two-word request at the counter: no cheese. Losing the cheese also trims about 110 calories, bringing a vegan build to roughly 935. Want more plant protein in that vegan version? Reach for sofritas. For the full rundown of meat-free builds, see our guide to Chipotle vegetarian options.

How to add protein to a veggie burrito

On its own, a veggie burrito delivers about 31g of protein — fine, but well short of a meat build. Two cheap upgrades close the gap. Add sofritas, Chipotle's braised tofu, for 8g of plant protein and roughly 150 calories, which turns it into a sofritas burrito at about 1,195 calories and 39g protein. Or double the black beans for another 8g of protein and 7g of fiber at 130 calories. Stack both and a meat-free burrito clears 45g of protein, with the cheese adding a few grams more. None of these swaps touches the free guac.

How to order a veggie burrito (and get the free guac)

Order it like any build-your-own burrito: flour tortilla, then rice, then beans, and when the line asks about protein, say "veggie." That one word triggers the fajita veggies and the complimentary guacamole. On a veggie order the guac carries no upcharge; on a chicken or steak burrito the same scoop runs about $2.50 to $3 extra. Finish with salsa, cheese (skip it to keep the burrito vegan) and lettuce. A Chipotle veggie burrito runs about $9.80 before tax as of 2026, though prices vary by location. Count in the guac you would pay extra for on any other build, and it becomes one of the better value plays on the menu.

Veggie burrito vs a meat burrito

People assume skipping the meat makes the burrito lighter. It usually does not. Because the free guacamole piles on about 230 calories and 22g of fat, a loaded veggie burrito lands near 1,045 calories — within about 40 of a chicken burrito at roughly 1,085, and actually a touch higher in fat. What you give up is protein: 31g for the veggie build versus 45g-plus for chicken. So the veggie burrito wins on flavor and fiber, not on calories. If protein is your goal, order it as a bowl and double the beans, or add sofritas.

FAQ

Veggie burrito vs veggie bowl

Drop the 320-calorie tortilla and a 1,045-calorie veggie burrito falls to roughly 725 as a veggie bowl — still with the free guacamole and most of the fiber. Go one step further to a salad base and a veggie order can land near 520. The bowl is the single best calorie move for vegetarians, since the free guac already covers the richness the tortilla was adding. That same 320-calorie tortilla gap applies to every protein, not just veggie — our burrito vs bowl guide runs the numbers across the menu. If you love the flavor but want the count lower, a veggie burrito bowl is the easiest win.
