Steak Kid’s Quesadilla

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.”

On the protein, Chipotle’s ingredients page says of the beef: “Our steak and Barbacoa always start with Responsibly Raised beef. Then, we achieve tenderness in two ways. First, we cook it sous vide, which locks in moisture by heating the beef at a precise, low temperature for a looong time. Then we marinate it overnight in our smoky, spicy chipotle pepper adobo, and finish it on the grill (for steak) or add aromatic spices like oregano, cloves, and bay leaf, braise it slowly at a low temperature until it’s mouthwateringly tender, then shred it by hand (for Barbacoa). Sorry, is our beef-geek showing?” The statement for the steak names nine ingredients: Beef, Black Pepper, Chipotle Chili, Cumin, Garlic, Oregano, Salt, High Oleic Sunflower Oil and Water.

On 25 September 2026 the Steak Kid’s Quesadilla was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC. That makes it a core item, on every open menu read. One of those menus marked it unavailable on the read day.

Why the listing and the build differ

70 calories is the listing for the Steak Kid’s Quesadilla, and it is the protein alone: 2 oz of steak, with nothing else counted. This site prints that figure as the listing and never as the meal.

The classic build on this page comes to 600 calories: Steak (kid’s portion, 2 oz) (70 calories), Soft Flour Tortilla (taco) (one tortilla, 1 oz) (80 calories), Monterey Jack Cheese (110 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 500 calories and loaded at 710 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 28 g across the classic build, 4.7 g per 100 calories, and sodium 935 mg, 41 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 $4.70 and $6.35 for pickup depending on the restaurant; $5.20 is the median across 368 menus, read on 25 September 2026. The same menus carry Chipotle’s own delivery price: $6.75 at the median, 29.8 percent above pickup, before the service fees the checkout adds. It is the dearest of the eight kid’s quesadillas on the board at the median, level with Beef Barbacoa Kid’s Quesadilla, Carnitas Kid’s Quesadilla, Chicken Kid’s Quesadilla, Guacamole Kid’s Quesadilla, Pollo Asado Kid’s Quesadilla and Sofritas Kid’s Quesadilla; the cheapest is the Cheese Only Kid’s Quesadilla at $4.60.

The cheapest state median on the read date was Kansas at $5.12, the dearest Vermont at $6.25. 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 4 percent of a 2,000 calorie day by calories and 7 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium daily value. It carries 10 g of protein, 14.3 g per 100 calories, and 1.5 g of saturated fat (8 percent of the daily value).

The classic build is 30 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 41 percent of the sodium daily value. Carbohydrate runs 68.5 g with 8 g of fiber (29 percent of the 28 g daily value); fat 22.5 g, of which 8 g saturated.

Allergens and diets on this order

Chipotle’s allergens and special diets chart has a row for Steak: it contains none of the four chart allergens (dairy, soy, wheat and gluten, sulphites); the row marks it keto and paleo. The classic build on this page contains wheat and gluten, sulphites and dairy, by the rows for its parts; it is not vegetarian (Steak (kid’s portion, 2 oz) rules it 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.”
