Chicken burrito calories come to 975 for a tortilla filled with white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa and cheese. Exactly 320 of those calories are the tortilla itself, which is the only difference between this and the 655-calorie bowl holding identical fillings.

| Build | Cal | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Sodium | Sugar | Sat fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Burrito | 975 | 58 g | 117 g | 29.5 g | 12 g | 2,210 mg | 4 g | 11 g |
The 13 in flour tortilla is 320 calories, 50 g of carbohydrate, 9 g of fat and 600 mg of sodium. Because Chipotle assembles bowls and burritos from the same containers, the tortilla is the whole delta — there is no other hidden difference to account for. That makes the burrito-versus-bowl decision unusually easy to reason about.
Same fillings, 320 calories apart. Carbohydrate goes from 67 g to 117 g, and sodium from 1,610 mg to 2,210 mg. In practice burritos also tend to get slightly larger scoops than bowls, so treat 975 as a floor rather than a ceiling.
| Side by side | Cal | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Sodium | Sugar | Sat fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken burrito | 975 | 58 g | 117 g | 29.5 g | 12 g | 2,210 mg | 4 g | 11 g |
| Chicken bowl | 655 | 50 g | 67 g | 20.5 g | 9 g | 1,610 mg | 4 g | 8 g |
The flour tortilla adds 320 calories to an order, along with 50 g of carbohydrate, 9 g of fat and 600 mg of sodium. It is the single largest fixed addition available short of choosing a side, and it is the only difference between a burrito at 975 calories and the same fillings in a bowl at 655.
A bowl is the better format for watching carbs, decisively. The tortilla alone is 50 g of carbohydrate, taking a bowl at 67 g up to 117 g as a burrito. Rice is the next 40 g after that. The low-carb guide covers which of the two to drop first.
