Sofritas SaladVegan

What Chipotle says it is

Chipotle’s printed nutrition sheet describes a salad as: “Chopped romaine lettuce, baby kale and baby spinach, with choice of beans, meat, salsa, cheese and chipotle-honey vinaigrette.”

On the protein, Chipotle’s ingredients page says of soy beans: “Lucky for us, our quest to add a delicious vegetarian option to our menu led us to Minh Tsai, Hodo Soy’s founder and CEO and, as we like to call him, Tofu Master. Minh and Hodo (which means "good bean" in Chinese) partner with farmers in the Midwestern U.S. to buy non-GMO, organic soybeans that turn into the most delicious and creamiest artisanal tofu we can find. That tofu is mixed with our fragrant blend of spices and transformed into our super scrumptious Sofritas (we like alliteration, k?).” The ordering menu tags the listing “Plant-Based Protein”. The statement for the Sofritas names 16 ingredients: Bell Pepper, Black Pepper, Chipotle Chili, Cumin, Garlic, Gypsum, Oregano, Poblano Pepper, Red Wine Vinegar, Salt, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Soy Beans, Tomato, Tomato Paste, Water and Yellow Onion.

On 25 September 2026 the Sofritas Salad was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC. That makes it a core item, on every open menu read.

Why the listing and the build differ

The ordering menu lists the Sofritas Salad at 150 calories. That figure is the 4 oz of Sofritas 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 650 calories: Sofritas (150 calories), Romaine Lettuce (supergreens salad mix, the salad base, 3 oz) (15 calories), Black Beans (130 calories), Fresh Tomato Salsa (25 calories), Monterey Jack Cheese (110 calories) and Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette (220 calories). The other reference builds: light at 210 calories and loaded at 1,280 calories. Chipotle’s printed sheet gives a built salad as 420 to 910 calories; the classic build sits inside that range.

Protein runs 24 g across the classic build, 3.7 g per 100 calories, and sodium 2,375 mg, 103 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 $8.45 and $12.10 for pickup depending on the restaurant; $9.80 is the median across 368 menus, read on 25 September 2026. The same menus carry Chipotle’s own delivery price: $12.75 at the median, 30.1 percent above pickup, before the service fees the checkout adds. Among the seven salads on the board it is the cheapest at the median, level with Chicken Salad and Veggie Salad; the dearest is the Steak Salad at $11.80. It is priced level with the chicken version at the median.

By state median, Kansas was lowest at $9.18 and New York highest at $11.15. 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 salad: Guacamole $2.95 at the median ($2.85 to $3.20, 368 restaurants), Queso Blanco $1.70 at the median ($1.40 to $1.80, 368 restaurants) and Cilantro Lime Sauce $1.00 at the median ($1.00 to $1.00, 368 restaurants). A second portion of Sofritas (double protein) adds $4.00 at the median, $3.35 to $5.10 across 368 restaurants. So the classic build on this page stands at $9.80 and the loaded build at $12.75, the entree plus $2.95 of add-ons at the national medians.

The figures against a day

The listed protein alone is 8 percent of a 2,000 calorie day by calories and 24 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium daily value. It carries 8 g of protein, 5.3 g per 100 calories, and 1.5 g of saturated fat (8 percent of the daily value). Cholesterol, which the calculator does not print, is 0 mg on the printed sheet’s row for the same portion.

The classic build is 32 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 103 percent of the sodium daily value, which is to say more sodium than a day. Carbohydrate runs 57 g with 14 g of fiber (50 percent of the 28 g daily value); fat 35.5 g, of which 9 g saturated.

Allergens and diets on this order

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

On the vegan question the chart says: “Our Sofritas is vegan and vegetarian approved. Vegans should avoid our meats, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, queso, sour cream, and chipotle-honey vinaigrette. Our tortillas, vegetables, rice, beans, salsas, chips and guacamole, are vegetarian and vegan.” 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 - Sofritas, $53.00 at the median for four to six people, $13.25 a head at four. For a child, the Sofritas Kid’s Build Your Own is $5.70 and Sofritas Kid’s Quesadilla is $5.20 at their medians. The same protein in the other formats: Sofritas Burrito at $9.80, Sofritas Bowl at $9.80, Sofritas Tacos (3) at $9.80 and Sofritas Quesadilla at $10.35.
