Cantina Chicken Burrito

What Taco Bell says it is

On its product page Taco Bell describes it as “A warm flour tortilla filled with double the savory, slow-roasted chicken*, Avocado Ranch & Creamy Chipotle sauce, lettuce, shredded purple cabbage, freshly prepared pico de gallo, and shredded cheddar cheese. Served with an Avocado Verde Salsa packet. *As compared to the Cantina Chicken Soft Taco”

The two calorie figures

Read the ordering menu and Cantina Chicken Burrito is 570 calories; read the nutrition menu and it is 530. The gap is not an error on either side: the listing prints the default build of the line, which is the Cantina Chicken Burrito with Avocado Verde Salsa Sauce Packet (50 cal), and the nutrition record is the Cantina Chicken Burrito by itself. Take the Avocado Verde Salsa Sauce Packet off the order and the listing figure and the record agree.

Every figure on this page that is not the listing (the panel, the daily values, the rankings, the ticket total) uses the nutrition record for the Cantina Chicken Burrito alone, and the ticket on this page prints both lines so the gap is visible rather than resolved.

Where it was listed

Cantina Chicken Burrito: listed at 450 of the 452 restaurants read, in 50 states and DC, read 19 September 2026. That makes it a core item: on nine in ten of the restaurant menus read or more.

By state median, Alabama was lowest at $6.19 and Alaska highest at $8.79. A state median stands on ten restaurants at most, so a single expensive or cheap restaurant moves it; the national range is the safer figure. Pick a state on the board or on the prices by state page and the ticket on every page prices its lines at that state’s medians beside the national range.

What the price buys

Among the twelve priced burritos on the board, Cantina Chicken Burrito is the 12th cheapest by median price. The section median is $3.25, so it is $3.53 above it. At the median price it costs $1.28 per 100 calories and $2.82 per 10 g of protein.

The record against a day

Against a 2,000 calorie day, Cantina Chicken Burrito is 26 percent of the calories and 52 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium limit the FDA uses for the daily value. Saturated fat is 9 g, 45 percent of the 20 g daily value. Protein runs 24 g, 4.5 g per 100 calories.

The Burritos median for sodium is 1,155 mg; this one is 1,190.

The daily values are the guide’s own yardstick: “The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat to 20 grams and sodium to 2,300 milligrams for a typical adult eating 2,000 calories daily.”

Allergens and certification

The brand’s own tool lists Cantina Chicken Burrito as free of fish, MSG, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy and tree nuts. The label warns of eggs, gluten, milk and wheat. The tool’s own caution: “While a particular ingredient may not contain one of these allergens, our products may be prepared on the same equipment and in the same kitchen area as those that do.”

Slow Roasted Shredded Chicken stops it being vegetarian as served: Slow Roasted Shredded Chicken carries no vegetarian tag in the statement, while Flour Tortilla, Pico de Gallo, Cheddar Cheese, Avocado Ranch Sauce, Creamy Chipotle Sauce, Iceberg Lettuce and Purple Cabbage are tagged.
