Three tacos, one record each
The ordering menu lists 180 calories for the chicken tacos, the 4 oz of chicken alone. Chipotle’s printed sheet gives 390 to 1,140 calories for an order of three; this site’s classic build (three soft taco tortillas, fresh tomato salsa, cheese, sour cream and lettuce) sums to 680 for the three, about 227 a taco, the light to 410 and the loaded to 1,325. Divided by three those are averages, since the counter does not weigh each taco.
| Build | Parts | Three tacos | About one taco | Protein, the three | Sodium, the three |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light | crispy corn tortillas, fresh tomato salsa and lettuce | 410 | 137 | 35 g | 860 mg |
| Classic | three soft taco tortillas, fresh tomato salsa, cheese, sour cream and lettuce | 680 | 227 | 47 g | 1,560 mg |
| Loaded | three soft taco tortillas, white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa, corn salsa, cheese, sour cream and guacamole | 1,325 | 442 | 64 g | 2,820 mg |
The shell decides a lot
Three soft flour taco tortillas are 250 calories on the brand’s record (80 each); the crispy corn tortilla record is 200 calories per 1.5 oz. The soft tortilla carries 160 mg of sodium each and gluten; the corn shell carries none of either. Every other protein’s tacos are on the tacos hub page with the same three builds.
The single taco with a fixed recipe
The High Protein Menu’s High Protein Taco is one taco with a set build (chicken, a soft taco tortilla, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, cheese and lettuce), summed by the brand’s records to 300 calories and 19.7 g of protein at $3.50; it is the one taco on the menu with a record of its own.
Every taco order, three builds
The light build is the protein with Crispy Corn Tortilla, Fresh Tomato Salsa and Romaine Lettuce. The classic build is the protein with Soft Flour Tortilla (taco) (three, a taco order, 3 oz), Fresh Tomato Salsa, Monterey Jack Cheese, Sour Cream and Romaine Lettuce. The loaded build is the protein with Soft Flour Tortilla (taco) (three, a taco order, 3 oz), Cilantro-Lime White Rice, Black Beans, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa, Monterey Jack Cheese, Sour Cream and Guacamole. The same parts go on every protein so the proteins compare like for like; the protein’s own record is the only thing that changes down the column.
