Here’s how to order keto at Chipotle:
Keto Chipotle Salads

Here’s how you can make Chipotle guacamole at home!
“I’d like the chicken salad, with fajita grilled veggies, fresh tomato salsa, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole. And can you please add extra chicken?”
Okay, so that order’s a mouthful, but you deserve all the good stuff. The extra chicken will run you about $2, but it’s worth it if you’re really hungry. Want to ensure you truly get double meat? After they portion out the first scoop of chicken (before you let them know you want double chicken), that’s when you should ask for the extra serving on top since they’ll actually double the portion based on the single they just served (trust me on this!).
- Chipotle Chicken Salad: 690 calories | 46g fat | 23g total carbs | 10g fiber | 7g sugar | 44g protein | 13g net carbs
- Chipotle Chicken Salad w/ Extra Chicken: 870 calories | 51g fat | 23g total carbs | 10g fiber | 7g sugar | 76g protein | 13g net carbs
“I’ll have the Carnitas salad with fajita grilled veggies, fresh tomato salsa, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole, with queso.”
Those grilled vegetables add so much flavor! The queso has a few carbs going on (three to be exact), so keep it off to the side for dipping if you want to keep it lower in carbs.
- Chipotle Carnitas Salad: 840 calories | 60g fat | 27g total carbs | 10g fiber | 8g sugar | 40g protein | 17g net carbs
Skip the chips!
I know, you love those Chipotle tortilla chips that have that hint of lime flavor, but a small order clocks in at 73g of carbs. 😱 OUCH! That’s like spending three days’ worth of carbs on one order of chips. You for sure won’t find these as a recommended item in our keto Chipotle dining guide! 🚫
Instead, get your order to go and grab a bag of Quest low carb protein tortilla chips. The Chipotle chips calories rack up fast but with Quest, you have some portion control. Plus, you can have an entire bag of Quest tortilla chips and it’s only 4g of net carbs, now that’s what I’m talking about!
Be sure to check out this post where we rank our favorite Quest protein chip flavors!
I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes 3 weeks ago and your website has been amazing. I was craving Mexican food and knew it would totally spike my sugar levels if I got it. After looking at the options at Chipotle I was able to find something to satisfy my craving and keep my sugar levels in check! Thank you!!
Awww, thank you so much! I am so glad you have found something that will not spike your sugar levels that you love!
That’s why I am here too! Only bummer is the cauliflower rice is always temporarily unavailable in my area 🙁
Chipotle just came out with cilantro lime cauliflower rice! 😋
They did! Thanks for the reminder!
Just curious why no beans ? I thought beans were a good source of protein or is that they are 2 high in carbs ? Just curious
Hi there! If staying keto, it is best to avoid them as they are higher in carbs.
yes they are high in carbs
