Pollo Asado QuesadillaLimited time

What Chipotle says it is

Chipotle’s own quesadilla page says: “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.” It is a digital order: “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.”

The brand’s own page for it says: “Experience the fresh taste of lime and cilantro with limited time only Pollo Asado. Juicy, grilled Adobo chicken marinated with freshly-squeezed lime, finished with fresh hand-chopped cilantro, and seasoned with garlic and Mexican spices.” The ordering menu tags the listing “Fresh Taste of Lime & Cilantro”.

On 25 September 2026 the Pollo Asado Quesadilla was listed at 367 of the 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC. That makes it a limited time item: on the menus read, and the brand’s own page says it will not stay. Six of those menus marked it unavailable on the read day: a quesadilla is made on the digital line, and the menu marks it off where that line is off. Asked whether it is permanent, the brand’s page for the protein answers: “No, Pollo Asado is only available at Chipotle for a limited time. Our new and improved Pollo Asado recipe brings forward freshly squeezed lime and hand-chopped cilantro.”

Why the listing and the build differ

The ordering menu lists the Pollo Asado Quesadilla at 180 calories. That figure is the 4 oz of Pollo Asado 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.

Six parts make the classic build, 1,045 calories in all: Pollo Asado (180 calories), Flour Tortilla (burrito) (320 calories), Monterey Jack Cheese (in a quesadilla, 3 oz) (330 calories), Fresh Tomato Salsa (25 calories), Sour Cream (110 calories) and Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa (80 calories). The other reference builds: light at 875 calories and loaded at 1,510 calories.

Protein runs 60 g across the classic build, 5.7 g per 100 calories, and sodium 2,430 mg, 106 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 $9.60 and $13.25 for pickup depending on the restaurant; $10.95 is the median across 367 menus, read on 25 September 2026. The same menus carry Chipotle’s own delivery price: $14.25 at the median, 30.1 percent above pickup, before the service fees the checkout adds. It sits between the Cheese Only Quesadilla at $10.35 and the Steak Quesadilla at $12.35 among the seven quesadillas on the board. The Pollo Asado premium over chicken is $0.60 at the median on this format.

The cheapest state median on the read date was Kansas at $10.32, the dearest New York at $12.30. 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 priced add-ons on a quesadilla: Guacamole $2.95 at the median ($2.85 to $3.20, 367 restaurants), Queso Blanco $2.95 at the median ($2.85 to $3.20, 367 restaurants) and Cilantro Lime Sauce $1.50 at the median ($1.50 to $1.50, 367 restaurants). So the classic build on this page stands at $10.95 and the loaded build at $13.90, the entree plus $2.95 of add-ons at the national medians.

The figures against a day

Against a 2,000 calorie day, the listed 4 oz of Pollo Asado is 9 percent of the calories and 15 percent of the sodium daily value. It carries 29 g of protein, 16.1 g per 100 calories, and 3 g of saturated fat (15 percent of the daily value).

The classic build is 52 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 106 percent of the sodium daily value, which is to say more sodium than a day. Carbohydrate runs 78 g with 7 g of fiber (25 percent of the 28 g daily value); fat 50.5 g, of which 25.5 g saturated.

Allergens and diets on this order

Chipotle publishes no chart row and no tag for Pollo Asado, so this site marks the listing free of nothing. The classic build on this page contains wheat and gluten, sulphites and dairy, by the rows for its parts; it is not vegetarian (Pollo Asado 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.”

Where else the protein turns up

The same protein feeds the Family Meal - Pollo Asado, $57.00 at the median for four to six people, $14.25 a head at four. One of the brand’s own configured orders builds on the Pollo Asado Quesadilla: Pollo Asado Quesadilla ($12.45, 1,095 calories). For a child, the Pollo Asado Kid’s Build Your Own is $5.70 and Pollo Asado Kid’s Quesadilla is $5.20 at their medians. The same protein in the other formats: Pollo Asado Burrito at $10.40, Pollo Asado Bowl at $10.40, Pollo Asado Salad at $10.40 and Pollo Asado Tacos (3) at $10.40.
