On the chart it contains dairy and is vegetarian; “Chipotle’s Queso Blanco does not contain gluten, but it does contain sulfites.”

Queso is the cheaper add-on at $1.70 against $2.95 for guacamole on a burrito at the medians, and the lighter one at 120 calories against 230, for a smaller portion (2 oz against 4 oz). Both together add $4.65 to an entree. The guacamole against queso page compares the records.
A free queso
