Protein per dollar

At the medians the cheapest protein on the priced menu is Tortilla on the Side at $0.63 per 10 g, then High Protein Cup - Pollo Asado at $1.24, High Protein Cup - Chicken at $1.25 and High Protein Cups at $1.25.

The brand’s own protein hacks page says: “Some favorite protein hacks for building high protein Chipotle meals include asking for double protein (Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas), adding both beans for extra plant-based protein, choosing a protein bowl instead of a burrito to fit more ingredients, adding fajita veggies for volume and nutrients, or pairing your meal with high protein sides like beans or extra protein.”

How this page is read

Every price on this page is a range read from 368 restaurants’ own ordering menus in 48 states and DC on 25 September 2026, printed with the count of restaurants behind it and the brand’s own delivery price beside it; every calorie and nutrient figure is Chipotle’s own record from its nutrition calculator, and every allergen mark is its own chart row or tag. A calories-only record (the double portion) has no protein figure of its own; where the sums use one, the portion’s own record at the entree size stands in and the page says so.
