The classic builds are the same parts but for the Flour Tortilla (burrito) on the Chicken Burrito: Chicken Burrito at 1,090 calories against Chicken Bowl at 770 calories, 320 calories apart. That one part, Flour Tortilla (burrito), is 320 calories, 50 g of carbohydrate and 600 mg of sodium on its own record; it is the whole difference. At the medians the classic builds cost $9.80 and $9.80: the format does not move the price.
The tortilla, in figures
The only part a burrito has that a bowl has not is the tortilla: 320 calories, 50 g of carbohydrate, 600 mg of sodium and the one part of the order that carries wheat and gluten by the chart. Everything else in the two orders is the same record at the same portion, and the price is the same at the median ($9.80 for chicken). The brand’s own sheet puts the two formats 320 calories apart at the low end of its ranges and 300 at the high: a burrito 740 to 1,210, a bowl 420 to 910.
Price
The medians on 25 September 2026: Chicken Burrito at $9.80 ($8.45 to $12.10, 368 restaurants) and Chicken Bowl at $9.80 ($8.45 to $12.10, 368 restaurants). The two share a median: the format does not move the price on this menu, the protein does. For delivery on the brand’s own app: $12.75 for Chicken Burrito and $12.75 for Chicken Bowl, before fees.
Calories, protein and sodium
The records the ordering menu lists are the proteins alone (180 calories for the Chicken Burrito and 180 calories for the Chicken Bowl), so the formats compare as builds above; the yardsticks below are the classic builds. Chicken Bowl is the lighter at 770 calories against 1,090 calories for Chicken Burrito, a gap of 320 calories. Protein: 60 g for Chicken Burrito and 52 g for Chicken Bowl, so Chicken Burrito carries 8 g more. Sodium: 2,240 mg for Chicken Burrito and 1,640 mg for Chicken Bowl, so Chicken Burrito carries 600 mg more, 97 percent of the daily value against 71 percent. Carbohydrate: 120 g for Chicken Burrito and 70 g for Chicken Bowl, so Chicken Burrito carries 50 g more. Fiber: 13 g for Chicken Burrito and 10 g for Chicken Bowl, so Chicken Burrito carries 3 g more. Fat: 38.5 g for Chicken Burrito and 29.5 g for Chicken Bowl, so Chicken Burrito carries 9 g more. Per 100 calories the protein is 5.5 g on Chicken Burrito and 6.8 g on Chicken Bowl: Chicken Bowl is the denser.
Allergens and diets on the chart
The chart marks neither as containing any of its four allergens (dairy, soy, wheat and gluten, sulphites). The diet marks: Chicken Burrito keto and paleo and Chicken Bowl keto and paleo. Those are the proteins’ own rows; the classic builds add the tortilla (wheat and gluten), the cheese and the sour cream (dairy) and the salsa (sulphites) where they carry them, and each entree page prints the build’s marks under the bars. The chart’s caution applies to both: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.”

An entree’s record is its protein alone, which is why the formats compare as builds.
