What should I know before I order?
Extra chicken adds another published 4 oz serving: 180 calories and 32 g protein. That takes this exact bowl to 830 calories and 80 g protein. Check the extra charge and portion with your restaurant.
Chips, tortillas, drinks and other toppings are not included. The totals use the listed standard portions, not a weighed measurement of the bowl you receive.
Menus, availability and portions can change. These are published figures for standard servings, not a measurement of your meal. Ask the restaurant about allergens and the portion you receive.
How do I say this order at the counter?
Ask for a chicken bowl, then name each item as it comes down the line: white rice, black beans, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, roasted chili-corn salsa and romaine. Say no to cheese, sour cream, queso and guacamole. A scoop at the counter can be larger or smaller than the published serving.
What changes if I swap or add something?
Most single changes keep this bowl above 40 g protein. Steak instead of chicken is the one that drops it below, to 37 g.
Skipping the rice still leaves 44 g protein at 440 calories. Guacamole adds the most fat: 22 g, for 36 g in the bowl. A flour tortilla turns the bowl into a 970-calorie burrito.

Can a vegetarian bowl reach 40 g protein?
Not with this build. Sofritas, Chipotle's tofu filling, in place of chicken gives 24 g protein at 620 calories. Extra sofritas brings it to 32 g at 770 calories.
A published Sofritas serving has 8 g protein, against 32 g for chicken. The rice, beans and salsas add 16 g between them, so most of the protein has to come from the main filling.
How does DineSense check these numbers?
Every figure on this page is a row Chipotle publishes, with its serving size. The order total is added up from those rows and checked against the expected total before the page is published.
The DineSense app uses the same rows when it ranks Chipotle dishes, and it labels anything that is an estimate. If a figure no longer matches the source, send DineSense a menu correction.
