Chipotle queso, guac and chips nutrition
Sides are where careful orders quietly fall apart. The regular chips are 540 calories on their own; pair them with queso and you're at 660, with guacamole at 770 — before your actual meal. A side of queso blanco is 120 calories and a side of guac 230: fine when planned, painful when forgotten.
None of this means skip them — it means count them. If chips-and-queso is the point of your visit, budget for it in the main calculator (both live in the Extras section there) and trim the bowl instead: dropping rice and sour cream frees up 320 calories, almost exactly the cost of chips plus queso.
