Vegan Chipotle Order

Yes — sofritas plus any base, minus the three dairy toppings.

Building a vegan Chipotle order takes one substitution and three refusals. Sofritas is the plant-based protein at 150 calories and 8 g of protein; cheese, sour cream and queso blanco are the items to decline. The one people get wrong in both directions is guacamole, which contains no dairy at all — it is avocado, lime, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño and salt — while the chipotle-honey vinaigrette contains honey and does not qualify.

What passes on the line

Everything on the line is plant-based except the three dairy toppings and the honey vinaigrette. That leaves a wide build.

  • Sofritas (8 g protein) or plant-based chorizo (16 g protein), the stronger of the two on protein
  • Both rice varieties and both bean varieties — beans add 8 g of protein a scoop
  • All four salsas
  • Guacamole, fajita vegetables, romaine and supergreens

What disqualifies an order

Four items, three of them obvious and one that catches people out.

  • Cheese, sour cream and queso blanco
  • Chipotle-honey vinaigrette — the honey is the problem, not the dairy
  • The flour tortilla is vegan, so burritos remain available

Questions about eating vegan at Chipotle

Is Chipotle guacamole vegan?

Yes, Chipotle guacamole is vegan. It contains avocado, lime, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño and salt, with no dairy or animal product at any stage. It is also the main fat source in a plant-based build, at 230 calories and 6 g of fiber a serving. The guacamole breakdown carries the full figures.

How much protein can a vegan Chipotle order have?

A vegan Chipotle order reaches 25 g of protein in the build on this page. Swapping sofritas for plant-based chorizo and doubling the beans takes it to 41 g. Beans do more of that work than the protein scoop does: black beans carry 8 g against sofritas at 8 g.

Are Chipotle beans cooked with meat?

No, Chipotle beans are not cooked with meat. Both black and pinto beans are prepared without animal products, which makes either safe in a vegan order. Pinto beans historically contained bacon, which is why the question persists. Both varieties carry 8 g of protein for 130 calories a scoop.
