The 2026 offer, in the brand’s words
“You can get a Free Chipotle Quesadilla from 9/24-9/25 when you spend $20+ and use promo code NQD2026 at digital checkout.”
“National Quesadilla Day at Chipotle is a celebration of one of our most-loved digital menu items: the Quesadilla.” The release of 21 September: two days of free quesadillas, 24 and 25 September, on digital orders of twenty dollars or more with the code. The menus this site read were read on 25 September, the second day of the offer, and the quesadilla prices on them were the ordinary ones: the code works at checkout, not on the menu.

A cheese quesadilla was $10.35 at the median and a chicken quesadilla $10.35, so the reward was worth that against a twenty-dollar order; two chicken burritos at $19.60 clear the minimum. The quesadilla is the one format priced above the burrito, by $0.55 at the median.
The quesadilla itself
“The Quesadilla is a digital-only menu item at Chipotle, meaning you can order it exclusively through the Chipotle app or website for pickup or delivery.” “We start with a warm flour tortilla, your choice of Adobo Chicken, Steak, Beef Barbacoa, Carnitas, Plant-Based Sofritas, or Fajita Veggies, then layered with Real Monterey Jack Cheese and folded before being pressed until golden and crisp.” “Every Chipotle Quesadilla comes with your choice of three sides.” The quesadillas hub has every one with its calories; the quesadilla calories guide sums the builds.
The other way to a free one
“Rewards Members can redeem 1,625 points in the Rewards Exchange to get one Free Quesadilla, available exclusively in the app and on Chipotle.com.” That is $162.50 of qualifying spend at ten points a dollar; the rewards points guide prices the ladder.
Every quesadilla, three builds, with the price
The light build is the protein with Flour Tortilla (burrito), Monterey Jack Cheese (in a quesadilla, 3 oz), Fresh Tomato Salsa and Fajita Veggies. The classic build is the protein with Flour Tortilla (burrito), Monterey Jack Cheese (in a quesadilla, 3 oz), Fresh Tomato Salsa, Sour Cream and Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa. The loaded build is the protein with Flour Tortilla (burrito), Monterey Jack Cheese (in a quesadilla, 3 oz), Cilantro-Lime White Rice, Black Beans, 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.
