Cheese Only Kid’s QuesadillaVegetarian

What Chipotle says it is

Chipotle’s printed nutrition sheet describes a kid’s quesadilla as: “With a side of rice and beans. Includes fruit or kid’s chips, and organic juice or milk. Addition of protein is extra.” The ordering menu tags the cheese quesadilla “Includes Guacamole”, and the build on this page marks guacamole included rather than priced for it.

On the cheese, Chipotle’s ingredients page says of cheese cultures: “Cheese cultures are strains of bacteria (the good kind) that are isolated by culture makers (yup, there are such people) so they can keep making the best cheeses. When added to milk, cheese cultures consume the lactose (or milk sugar) and turn it into lactic acid, which helps the vegetable rennet (proteins with coagulating properties) turn the milk into a solid block of cheese. In simpler terms, magic. Magic makes cheese happen.” The statement for the cheese names five ingredients: Cheese Cultures, Monterey Jack Cheese, Milk, Vegetable Rennet and Salt.

The Cheese Only Kid’s Quesadilla was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC on 25 September 2026. That makes it a core item, on every open menu read.

Why the listing and the build differ

The ordering menu lists the Cheese Only Kid’s Quesadilla at 110 calories. That figure is the 1 oz of cheese alone: the tortilla, the rice, the beans, the salsas and the toppings are chosen on the line and are not in it. This site prints that figure as the listing and never as the meal.

The classic build on this page comes to 530 calories: Monterey Jack Cheese (110 calories), Soft Flour Tortilla (taco) (one tortilla, 1 oz) (80 calories), Cilantro-Lime White Rice (kid’s portion, from the printed sheet) (100 calories), Black Beans (kid’s portion, from the printed sheet) (100 calories) and Tortilla Chips (kid’s chips, 1 oz) (140 calories). The other reference builds: light at 430 calories and loaded at 640 calories. Chipotle’s printed sheet gives a built kid’s quesadilla as 530 to 710 calories; the classic build sits inside that range.

Protein runs 18 g across the classic build, 3.4 g per 100 calories, and sodium 775 mg, 34 percent of the 2,300 mg the FDA uses as the daily value. Press any part in the build above and the bars redraw from that part’s own record.

What the price buys

Between $4.15 and $4.95 for pickup depending on the restaurant; $4.60 is the median across 368 menus, read on 25 September 2026. The same menus carry Chipotle’s own delivery price: $6.00 at the median, 30.4 percent above pickup, before the service fees the checkout adds. Among the eight kid’s quesadillas on the board it is the cheapest at the median; the dearest is the Steak Kid’s Quesadilla at $5.20.

By state median, Kansas was lowest at $4.35 and New York highest at $4.95. A state median stands on eight restaurants at most, so one dear or cheap restaurant moves it; the national range is the safer figure. Pick a state at the top of the page and every price on this site prints that state’s median.

The figures against a day

The listed protein alone is 6 percent of a 2,000 calorie day by calories and 8 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium daily value. It carries 6 g of protein, 5.5 g per 100 calories, and 5 g of saturated fat (25 percent of the daily value). Cholesterol, which the calculator does not print, is 30 mg on the printed sheet’s row for the same portion.

The classic build is 26 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 34 percent of the sodium daily value. Carbohydrate runs 68 g with 7.5 g of fiber (27 percent of the 28 g daily value); fat 19.5 g, of which 6.5 g saturated.

Allergens and diets on this order

Chipotle’s allergens and special diets chart has a row for Monterey Jack Cheese: it contains dairy; the row marks it vegetarian and keto. The classic build on this page contains dairy, wheat and gluten and sulphites, by the rows for its parts; it is vegetarian but not vegan (Monterey Jack Cheese rules vegan out).

On the tortilla the brand is plain: “If you avoid gluten, don’t eat our flour tortillas. If you are highly sensitive to gluten and would like us to change our gloves, just let us know at the start of your order.” Every row on the chart carries the same two cautions: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.” “Although we do not use eggs, mustard, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, shellfish, or fish as ingredients in our food, Chipotle cannot guarantee the complete absence of these allergens in its restaurants.”
