Chipotle cheese calories are 110 for a 1 oz portion, which packs more into less volume than any other topping on the line. That ounce carries 8 g of fat, 5 g of it saturated, alongside 6 g of protein and 190 mg of sodium.

Cheese is the only topping other than queso that contributes meaningful protein — 6 g, the same as a scoop of beans. In a standard chicken bowl it supplies 6 of the 50 g total. That does not make it a protein source worth ordering for, but it does mean dropping it costs slightly more than the calorie count suggests.
Both total 110 calories as served, but cheese does it in 1 oz and sour cream in 2 oz. Cheese brings 6 g of protein to sour cream's 2 g and 5 g of saturated fat to sour cream's 7 g. Sodium is the clearest split: 190 mg against 30 mg.
| Side by side | Cal | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Sodium | Sugar | Sat fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheese | 110 | 6 g | 1 g | 8 g | 0 g | 190 mg | 0 g | 5 g |
| Sour cream | 110 | 2 g | 2 g | 9 g | 0 g | 30 mg | 2 g | 7 g |
Chipotle uses a shredded Monterey Jack and white cheddar blend, made with microbial rennet rather than animal rennet. That makes the cheese suitable for a vegetarian order but not a dairy-free one. A 1 oz serving carries 110 calories, 6 g of protein and 5 g of saturated fat.
Skipping cheese saves 110 calories and 190 mg of sodium, taking a standard chicken bowl from 655 to 545 calories. It also removes 6 g of protein and 5 g of saturated fat. On a meat-free order that protein loss counts for more than it does alongside a full scoop of chicken.
