What Chipotle says it is

Chipotle describes it as: “Soft Flour Tortilla, Adobo Chicken, Fajita Veggies, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Monterey Jack Cheese, and Lettuce”. The menu tags it “15g Protein”. The High Protein Menu page says: “Real ingredients. Real flavor. Real protein that works as hard as you do.” This is a single taco, its own product on the ordering menu, not the order of three.

On 25 September 2026 the High Protein Taco was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC. It is built on the Chicken Tacos (3)’s protein and tortilla, and priced as its own product, the single taco, on the ordering menu.

How the total is built

Summed from the parts, the High Protein Taco comes to 300 calories: Chicken, single taco portion (60 calories), Soft Flour Tortilla (taco) (one tortilla, 1 oz) (80 calories), Fajita Veggies (20 calories), Fresh Tomato Salsa (25 calories), Cheese (110 calories) and Romaine Lettuce (5 calories). Chipotle prints 190 calories for it. The sum here is 110 higher, because the brand’s figure is not the sum of the records it publishes for the parts; both figures are printed and neither is resolved. Protein sums to 19.7 g and sodium to 1,153 mg, 50 percent of the 2,300 mg daily value.
