How many calories are in Chipotle tacos?
A Chipotle taco order is three tacos, and your first decision is the shell: three soft flour tortillas add 240 calories, while three crispy corn shells add 210 — crispy is slightly lighter in calories but higher in fat (9g vs 6g). Your fillings are split across the three shells, but nutritionally it's one order, which is how the calculator counts it.
A typical build — chicken, cheese and tomato salsa in soft shells — comes to about 555 calories with 40g of protein, making tacos one of the naturally lighter formats on the menu: the shells cost less than a burrito tortilla and there's simply less room to pile on extras.
