A chicken quesadilla is 610 calories, which sounds modest next to a 975-calorie burrito until you notice what is missing from it. Chicken quesadilla calories cover a tortilla, cheese and meat — no rice, no beans, no salsa, no vegetables. It is the most calorie-dense format on the menu per bite, not the largest total.

| Build | Cal | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Sodium | Sugar | Sat fat |

In every other format cheese is a topping you can decline for 110 calories. In a quesadilla it is structural: the tortilla and cheese together are 430 calories and 17 g of fat before any protein goes in. Saturated fat is where that shows up hardest, at 11 g for the finished item.
The burrito is the bigger order at 975 calories against 610, because it contains rice and beans the quesadilla does not. But the quesadilla delivers 11 g of saturated fat to the burrito's 11 g, and only 3 g of fiber to the burrito's 12 g. Sides ordered alongside a quesadilla push its total past the burrito quickly.

Yes, a quesadilla comes with salsa and sour cream in separate cups rather than inside it, so they only count if you use them. Sour cream adds 110 calories and fresh tomato salsa 25. The quesadilla itself is 610 calories with chicken, before anything from those cups goes on it. The quesarito in the off-menu requests builds on the same base.
A quesadilla is low in fiber at 3 g because it contains no beans. Beans are the main fiber source in every other format, at 7 g a scoop, and a quesadilla is built from tortilla, cheese and protein alone. Nearly all of the 3 g it does carry comes from the flour tortilla itself.
