What Comes With Chipotle Tacos?

A standard taco entrée gives you three tacos that you can customize with your preferred ingredients.

You can choose from available proteins such as:

Chicken
Steak
Beef Barbacoa
Carnitas
Sofritas
Pollo Asado, while available
Veggie

You can then add available toppings and fillings.

Common choices include beans, fajita veggies, salsa, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, and Queso Blanco.

For ingredient-specific information, see our Chipotle Ingredients Guide.

Chicken Tacos

Chicken Tacos typically cost about $9.80 for a standard order of three.

Chicken is usually one of the lower-priced meat choices. You can combine it with your preferred shell and available toppings.

The final price can increase if you add premium extras or additional protein.

Trying to choose between two popular proteins? See our Chipotle Chicken vs Steak comparison.

Steak Tacos

Steak Tacos typically cost around $11.55.

Steak usually sits in a higher price tier than Chicken, Sofritas, or Veggie.

The exact price depends on your restaurant, and premium additions can increase the final total.

Barbacoa Tacos

Barbacoa Tacos also typically cost around $11.55 for an order of three.

Barbacoa is seasoned shredded beef and generally shares the higher standard protein price tier with Steak.

You can customize the tacos with the available salsa, beans, vegetables, and toppings.

Carnitas Tacos

Carnitas Tacos typically cost about $10.55.

Carnitas is Chipotle’s pork option. Its typical price falls between lower-priced Chicken and higher-priced Steak or Barbacoa.

Local restaurant pricing may differ.

Sofritas Tacos

Sofritas Tacos typically cost about $9.80.

Sofritas is Chipotle’s plant-based protein and can be paired with beans, fajita veggies, salsa, lettuce, and other compatible ingredients.

For meat-free meal planning, see our Chipotle Vegetarian Menu or Chipotle Vegan Options.

Veggie Tacos

Veggie Tacos typically cost around $9.80.

Instead of selecting a meat protein, you can build them around beans, fajita veggies, salsa, and other available toppings.

The current Veggie entrée includes guacamole, which can affect its value compared with meat-based builds where guacamole may cost extra.

Pollo Asado Tacos

Pollo Asado returned to Chipotle in 2026 as a limited-time protein.

It uses grilled adobo chicken finished with cilantro and lime.

A Pollo Asado taco entrée generally sits above standard Chicken pricing, although the exact price varies by restaurant.

Because it is a limited-time protein, availability can change.

Soft Flour vs Crispy Corn Tacos

One of the main choices when building Chipotle tacos is the shell.

Soft Flour Tortillas

Soft flour tortillas have a flexible texture and work well if you prefer a softer taco.

They contain wheat, so they are not suitable for someone who needs to avoid gluten.

Crispy Corn Taco Shells

Crispy corn shells give the tacos a crunchy texture and do not use the same flour tortilla found in soft flour tacos.

If gluten is a concern, however, ingredient selection and restaurant cross-contact still matter. Use our Chipotle Gluten-Free Menu for a more complete guide.

What Toppings Can You Put on Chipotle Tacos?

Your available choices can include:

Black beans
Pinto beans
Fajita veggies
Fresh tomato salsa
Roasted chili-corn salsa
Tomatillo-green chili salsa
Tomatillo-red chili salsa
Sour cream
Cheese
Romaine lettuce
Guacamole
Queso Blanco

Availability can vary.

You do not need to use every topping. Keeping the build simple can also make the tacos easier to eat.

What Costs Extra on Chipotle Tacos?

The base price depends mainly on your protein, but premium additions can increase the total.

Possible extra charges include:

Guacamole on eligible meat entrées
Queso Blanco
Extra protein
Additional premium ingredients
Chips and sides
Drinks
Delivery-related charges

If you plan to add chips, queso, guacamole, or salsa, see our Chipotle Sides Menu & Prices.

Is Guacamole Free on Veggie Tacos?

Under Chipotle’s current menu setup, guacamole is included with the Veggie entrée.

Guacamole may cost extra when added to eligible meat-based tacos.

This makes the Veggie option worth comparing on total value rather than looking only at the base entrée price.

For a direct comparison of two premium toppings, see Queso vs Guacamole.

How Many Calories Are in Chipotle Tacos?

There is no single calorie number for every Chipotle taco order.

Your shell, protein, beans, salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, queso, and other toppings all affect the final total.

Three simple tacos can have a very different nutrition profile from three heavily customized tacos.

Use our Chipotle Calorie Calculator to build your exact order.

How to Build Lower-Calorie Chipotle Tacos

If you want to manage calories, focus on the complete taco build.

A simple approach is:

Choose your shell.
Pick your protein.
Add vegetables or salsa for flavor.
Decide whether you need cheese or sour cream.
Check premium toppings before combining several.
Calculate all three tacos as one meal.

For ingredient-level choices, see our Low-Calorie Chipotle Options.

For complete meal combinations, use our Low-Calorie Chipotle Orders.

How to Build High-Protein Chipotle Tacos

Start with the protein.

Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, and other available proteins provide different nutrition profiles.

Extra protein can increase protein, but it can also increase calories and price.

See our High-Protein Chipotle Options for individual ingredients or High-Protein Chipotle Orders for complete meal ideas.

Tacos vs Burrito: What’s the Difference?

Tacos divide the ingredients between smaller shells, while a burrito wraps the selected ingredients together inside one large flour tortilla.

Tacos may suit you if you want smaller portions that you can customize separately. A burrito may work better if you want everything wrapped into one handheld meal.

For burrito-specific pricing, see our Chipotle Burrito Menu & Prices.

If you would rather skip the large outer tortilla entirely, see the Chipotle Bowl Menu & Prices.

Can You Customize Each Chipotle Taco?

Chipotle’s build-your-own format gives you flexibility over your taco order.

Your available protein, shell, and topping choices appear when you order.

Options can vary by restaurant and ordering method.
