Plus the famous Fajita Quesadilla, the “secret menu” Quesarito and the Kids Quesadilla.
Quick Answer: Chipotle Quesadilla Menu & Prices
Chipotle has 7 main quesadilla variants plus a Kids Quesadilla in 2026. Prices: Cheese Quesadilla $8.95, Fajita Veggie or Sofritas Quesadilla $10.95, Chicken Quesadilla $11.35–$11.45, Carnitas Quesadilla $11.70, Steak or Barbacoa Quesadilla $13.10. Calories range from 650 (cheese) to 1,250 (steak with guac and queso). All Chipotle quesadillas are digital-only (Chipotle app or Chipotle.com) and come with 3 free sides/salsas. The Kids Quesadilla ($4.95) is the only quesadilla available at the in-store register.
Chipotle launched its first official quesadilla — the Hand-Crafted Quesadilla — on March 11, 2021, making it the chain’s first new customizable entrée since the salad was introduced 17 years earlier. The launch was specifically positioned as a digital-only menu item — you can only order quesadillas through the Chipotle app, Chipotle.com or Chipotle.ca, not at the in-store register. This is by design: quesadillas are prepared in a separate “Digital Kitchen” using a custom oven that toasts and folds the tortilla in seconds.
“We’re so excited to answer the call from fans and introduce one of the most highly anticipated menu items in our brand’s history. The Hand-Crafted Quesadilla brings so many new possibilities to our menu, and fans will love exploring fresh flavor combinations through its sides and salsa options.” — Chris Brandt, Chief Marketing Officer, Chipotle Mexican Grill (March 9, 2021 press release)
Before the official 2021 launch, the quesadilla was a famous Chipotle secret menu item — fans would request a “cheese-and-meat quesadilla” off the standard order list and Chipotle staff would often comply. This page covers the complete 2026 quesadilla menu: all 7 protein variants, the viral Fajita Quesadilla added in 2023, the now-discontinued Quesarito secret menu item, the Kids Quesadilla, plus verified prices, calories and ordering steps.
The Complete Chipotle Quesadilla Menu (2026)
Every Chipotle Quesadilla is built on a preservative-free flour tortilla filled with Monterey Jack cheese. You pick one protein (or go cheese-only) plus three free sides/salsas. Guacamole and queso blanco are paid extras at $2.95 each.

Chipotle Fajita Quesadilla — The TikTok Viral Order
The Fajita Quesadilla went viral on TikTok in 2022 as a customer-customized order — fans would order a chicken or steak quesadilla with fajita veggies added inside. The combination racked up tens of millions of views, and Chipotle officially added the Fajita Quesadilla to its digital menu in February 2023. Same price as a regular quesadilla.
What’s in the Fajita Quesadilla
- Preservative-free flour tortilla
- Monterey Jack cheese (double portion)
- Choice of protein: Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Sofritas (or just veggies)
- Fajita vegetables (peppers and onions) inside the tortilla — this is what makes it a “Fajita” Quesadilla
- 3 free sides/salsas of choice
Fajita Quesadilla nutrition (chicken version)
| Macro | Amount |
|---|---|
| Calories | 850 |
| Protein | 44g |
| Carbs | 55g |
| Fat | 44g |
| Sodium | 1,715mg |
Pricing: Same as a regular quesadilla — $11.45 for chicken, $13.10 for steak, etc. The fajita veggies add roughly 20 calories with no extra cost. Adding fajita veggies inside the quesadilla doesn’t count against your 3 free sides — you still get all 3.
Chipotle Kids Quesadilla — $4.95 Complete Meal
The Kids Quesadilla is the one quesadilla on the Chipotle menu that is available at the in-store register. It’s part of the Chipotle Kids Menu and is by far the cheapest complete meal on the menu — quesadilla, rice, beans, a side and a drink for $4.95.
What’s in a Kids Quesadilla meal
- Smaller cheese quesadilla (flour tortilla + Monterey Jack)
- Side of rice (white or brown, 2 oz kids portion)
- Side of beans (black or pinto, 3 oz kids portion)
- One kid’s side: kid’s chips, mandarins or blueberries

Why is it digital-only?
According to Chipotle’s official 2021 launch press release, the quesadilla is digital-only for operational reasons. The Hand-Crafted Quesadilla is made in Chipotle’s Digital Kitchen — a separate back-of-house line dedicated to digital orders — using a new custom oven that folds and presses the tortilla while melting the cheese perfectly. This keeps the main service line free for the dine-in burrito-and-bowl flow.
Third-party delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub)
Quesadillas are available on most third-party delivery apps but expect a 10–25% markup over Chipotle’s direct prices. If you want to earn Chipotle Rewards points, order directly through the Chipotle app or website — third-party apps don’t credit Chipotle Rewards.
Chipotle Quesadilla — Allergens & Special Diets
Chipotle’s Hand-Crafted Quesadilla contains two main allergens: wheat (from the flour tortilla) and dairy (from Monterey Jack cheese). Beyond that, the dietary profile depends entirely on your protein choice.
What’s NOT in a Chipotle Quesadilla
- No eggs
- No peanuts or tree nuts
- No fish or shellfish
- No sesame
- No mustard
- No artificial colors or flavors
- No preservatives in the tortilla
What IS in a Chipotle Quesadilla
- Wheat / Gluten (flour tortilla)
- Dairy (Monterey Jack cheese)
- Possible trace soy from tortilla manufacturing
- Possible sulphites (from vinegar in marinades)
Diet-specific notes
- Gluten-free: Not possible. The flour tortilla contains wheat. Order a burrito bowl or salad instead.
- Dairy-free / Vegan: Not possible without removing the cheese — and a quesadilla without cheese isn’t really a quesadilla. Order a vegan burrito bowl with Sofritas instead.
- Keto: Not keto-compliant. The flour tortilla has 50g of carbs.
- Vegetarian: Yes — choose the Fajita Veggie or Cheese Quesadilla.
- High Protein: The Steak Quesadilla (45g protein) or Chicken Quesadilla (43g protein) are the highest-protein options.

You can only order through the Chipotle app, Chipotle.com or Chipotle.ca for pickup or delivery. The Kids Quesadilla is the exception — that one can be ordered in-store as part of the kids meal.
Is the Chipotle quesadilla on the secret menu?
Not anymore. The Chipotle quesadilla was famously a “secret menu” item for years — fans would request a meat-and-cheese quesadilla off the standard order list, and Chipotle staff would often make it. Chipotle officially launched it as the Hand-Crafted Quesadilla on March 11, 2021 — making it the chain’s first new customizable entrée since the salad in 2004. The “secret menu” Quesarito (burrito wrapped in a quesadilla) is no longer made by most Chipotle locations.
What proteins can you get in a Chipotle quesadilla?
Chipotle quesadillas come with one of: Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Sofritas, or Fajita Veggies. The default is Monterey Jack cheese (you can’t remove this — it’s a quesadilla). You can also order it as a Cheese Quesadilla with no protein. All proteins are the same recipe as on the rest of the Chipotle menu — responsibly raised, never given antibiotics, no artificial colors or flavors.
What is the Chipotle Fajita Quesadilla?
The Fajita Quesadilla is a digital-only Chipotle quesadilla that comes with chicken or steak PLUS Chipotle’s fajita vegetables (peppers and onions) and cheese inside the tortilla. It went viral on TikTok in 2022 as a customer-created order, and Chipotle officially added it to the digital menu in February 2023. It’s the same price as a regular quesadilla.
Does the Chipotle quesadilla come with sides?
Yes. Every Chipotle Quesadilla includes three free sides/salsas of your choice from: fresh tomato salsa, tomatillo-green chili salsa, roasted chili-corn salsa, tomatillo-red chili salsa, sour cream, or chipotle-honey vinaigrette. Guacamole ($2.95) and queso blanco ($2.95) are paid extras. The compostable packaging has three compartments for these sides.
Is the Chipotle quesadilla gluten-free?
No. The Chipotle Quesadilla is made with a flour tortilla, which contains wheat. There is no gluten-free quesadilla option. People with gluten intolerance or celiac disease should order a burrito bowl or salad instead. All proteins, cheeses, salsas, and beans at Chipotle are gluten-free — the only gluten source is the flour tortilla.
Can I add rice and beans to a Chipotle quesadilla?
No. The Chipotle Hand-Crafted Quesadilla does not include rice or beans inside the tortilla — only protein and cheese. Adding rice or beans is not an option in the app. If you want rice and beans with your meal, order them as separate sides (a side of rice is free, a side of beans is free) or order a separate burrito bowl.
What is the Quesarito?
The Quesarito was a famous Chipotle “secret menu” item — a regular burrito wrapped inside a quesadilla. Chipotle removed it from most locations after launching the official Hand-Crafted Quesadilla in 2021 because of the operational complexity. A few locations still make Quesaritos for in-store guests upon request, but availability is rare and not guaranteed.
How long does it take to make a Chipotle quesadilla?
Chipotle’s Digital Kitchen uses a custom oven that folds and presses the quesadilla in about 4 minutes from order to ready-for-pickup. Total order-to-pickup time including queue position is typically 8–15 minutes during peak hours. The Chipotle app shows live estimated pickup times.
What’s the highest-protein Chipotle quesadilla?
The Steak Quesadilla at 45g protein is the highest-protein option, followed closely by the Chicken Quesadilla at 43g. Both include the 12g of protein from the Monterey Jack cheese. To push protein even higher, add a High Protein Cup ($3.82) for another 32g — bringing your total meal protein to 75g+.
Can I order a Chipotle quesadilla on DoorDash or Uber Eats?
Yes — Chipotle quesadillas are available on most third-party delivery apps including DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub and Postmates. Expect a 10–25% markup over Chipotle’s direct prices, plus delivery fees. To earn Chipotle Rewards points, order directly through the Chipotle app — third-party platforms don’t credit Rewards.

The Bottom Line on Chipotle’s Quesadilla Menu
Chipotle’s Hand-Crafted Quesadilla is the chain’s biggest menu innovation in nearly two decades — the first new customizable entrée since the 2004 salad launch. Seven protein variants plus the viral Fajita Quesadilla mean you can build a quesadilla that fits virtually any flavor preference, from the value-priced Cheese Quesadilla ($8.95) to the protein-packed Steak Quesadilla ($13.10). Three free sides come standard with every order, which makes the quesadilla one of the better-value items on the menu when you factor in the salsas you’d otherwise pay nothing for.
The only catch: it’s digital-only. You must order through the Chipotle app, Chipotle.com or a third-party delivery app — no in-store register option (except the Kids Quesadilla). For the full Chipotle menu including burritos, bowls, tacos and salads, return to our Chipotle menu with prices homepage.
