Chipotle Veggie Quesadilla: Fajita Veggie Press & Free Guac Side (2026)
The veggie quesadilla is the sleeper of the board: charred fajita peppers and onions folded through the Monterey Jack melt, sweeter and juicier than the plain cheese version for barely a dollar more, and it triggers the veggie-order perk, guacamole as an included side at no charge. The full case for it below.
The Chipotle veggie quesadilla presses fajita peppers and onions into the Monterey Jack melt: about 780 calories, typically $8.95 to $9.95, and as a veggie entree it includes guacamole as a free side. Vegetarian and digital-only.
- Build: charred fajita peppers and onions + Monterey Jack, pressed.
- The perk: veggie entrees include a guac side at no extra charge.
- Calories: ~780, barely above the plain cheese version.
- Price: $8.95 – $9.95, near the bottom of the board.
- Vegetarian; not vegan (cheese) or gluten-free (tortilla).
The Build: Veggie Quesadilla
The filling adds Chipotle fajita veggies, bell peppers and red onions grilled with oregano until charred and sweet, to the full quesadilla cheese melt. The veggies release juice under the press, steaming slightly inside the cheese, which gives this quesadilla a sweetness and moisture the plain cheese version lacks. And the standing veggie-order rule applies: guacamole comes as an included side free, roughly $3 of value the meat quesadillas charge for.

How to Order It (Digital Only) & Best Pairings
Chipotle quesadillas are digital exclusives: they exist only in the app and on the website, not at the counter line, because the press needs its own station timing. Order under Quesadilla, pick your filling and two included sides, and it presses to order. Take the free guac as side one, obviously, and roasted chili-corn salsa as side two; the sweet-corn-plus-charred-pepper combination is the best vegetarian flavor stack on the menu. The full lineup and side strategy live on the quesadilla menu.
