What Chipotle says is in it

What is in Sofritas, by the brand’s own statement: 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, 16 ingredients in all. On soy beans the ingredients page says: “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?).” On gypsum the ingredients page says: “Unlike just about every other ingredient on the Chipotle menu, gypsum doesn’t start on a farm or ranch - and isn’t "raised," per se. It is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined from a quarry, then ground into a consistent powder... kinda like salt. Just as rennet is used to make cheese from milk, tofu makers add gypsum to freshly made soy milk to separate the curds and whey. The whey is drained off and the curds are pressed together to form blocks of tofu.”

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

The record against a day

Per 4 oz, Sofritas carries 150 calories, 8 g of protein, 560 mg of sodium and 9 g of carbohydrate on its calculator record. That is 8 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 24 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium daily value, with 3 g of fiber (11 percent of the daily value). Cholesterol is not in the calculator; the printed sheet’s row for Sofritas gives 0 mg for the same portion.

The brand publishes five other portions for it: kid’s portion, 2 oz at 70 calories; half portion at 75 calories (calories only); extra portion, double protein at 300 calories (calories only); side of sofritas at 150 calories; family meal portion, 8 oz, serves 2 at 300 calories (calories only). The build on an entree page sums whichever portion the format serves: a kid’s meal counts the kid’s portion.

What it costs

Sofritas is included in every entree at the format’s portion; what the menus price is a second portion: $4.00 at the median on a burrito, in a bowl or on a salad ($3.35 to $5.10, 368 restaurants) and $7.00 at the median in a family meal ($6.00 to $8.00, 368 restaurants). The brand’s double protein offer terms of 27 August 2026 put it this way: “Mixed protein orders will be charged for the higher-priced protein.”

What the chart says

The chart’s row for Sofritas says it contains soy and sulphites; it is marked vegetarian and vegan. On sulphites the chart explains: “All sulphites present in Chipotle food items come exclusively from vinegar, in which sulphites occur naturally below the concentration (10 ppm) to be required as a listed ingredient under federal law. However, with an interest in transparency and for any customers with extreme sensitivities, we chose to label menu items containing vinegar as possible allergens.” “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.” The chart’s standing cautions apply to every row: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.”
