Straightforward — three items out, everything else stays.
Three items are the whole of it. A dairy free Chipotle order means skipping cheese (110 cal), sour cream (110 cal) and queso blanco (120 cal); nothing else on the line contains dairy. Guacamole is the substitution people reach for and it qualifies — avocado, lime, cilantro, onion, jalapeño and salt, with no dairy at any stage.
Everything except the three dairy toppings, which leaves a full-strength order.
Dropping all three removes 340 calories from an order that included them.

770 calories, 38 g of protein and 18 g of fiber, with guacamole standing in for the fat and richness cheese would have provided.
Prefer a different combination? total the order the way you actually get it.
Guacamole replaces cheese in a dairy-free bowl. It contains no dairy at any stage — avocado, lime, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño and salt — and it brings 6 g of fiber that cheese does not. The trade is calories: guacamole is 230 against cheese's 110, so the swap adds 120 calories to the bowl. Full macros here.
No — a dairy-free order is only lower in calories when nothing replaces the dairy. Dropping cheese and sour cream saves 220 calories, and adding guacamole in their place puts 230 back, a net change of 10 calories. Leaving all three off is what actually lowers the total.
No, the chipotle-honey vinaigrette contains no dairy. It contains honey, which rules it out of a vegan order but not a dairy-free one. What it does carry is 850 mg of sodium and 12 g of sugar in one 2 oz serving, the highest figures of any item on the line.
Per-ingredient figures sit on the menu, one row per item, and the method behind these numbers explains how portion sizes are handled.
