Calories in a Chipotle Steak Burrito: Full Breakdown (2026)
The steak burrito is the leanest meat burrito Chipotle makes, because steak carries only 150 calories per serving, the lowest of any protein. That still leaves you near 915 calories for a standard build, and the reason is the same as always: the tortilla and the rice account for 530 of them before the meat arrives. Here is the full breakdown.
A standard Chipotle steak burrito, flour tortilla, white rice, black beans, steak, fresh tomato salsa, and cheese, contains about 915 calories with 42g of protein. Adding guacamole takes it to ~1,145, while skipping rice and cheese brings it down to about 595.
- Standard build: ~915 calories, 42g protein, ~112g carbs.
- Steak adds only 150 calories, the leanest protein on the menu.
- The tortilla is 320, more than double the steak.
- With guacamole: ~1,145; fully loaded ~1,385.
- Bowl version saves 320 calories at the same price.
- Lightest build: ~530 with no rice, cheese, or sour cream.
