Chili Cheese Burrito

What Taco Bell says it is

On its product page Taco Bell describes it as “A warm flour tortilla filled with savory beef chili and shredded cheddar cheese, wrapped up to go.” The newsroom release behind it: “Launching nationwide on September 9, Taco Bell’s Decades Y2K Menu reintroduces the most-hyped items from the golden age of Y2K innovation, all for $3 or less.” “The limited-edition menu features the Caramel Apple Empanada, Cool Ranch® Doritos® Locos Tacos, 7-Layer Burrito, Double Decker Taco, and Chili Cheese Burrito.”

The two calorie figures

The ordering menu and the nutrition record agree on Chili Cheese Burrito: 380 calories. The unrounded figure behind the record is 376.3, which the nutrition menu rounds to 380 the way a menu board rounds, to the nearest 10 above 50 calories.

Where it was listed

Chili Cheese Burrito: listed at 103 of the 452 restaurants read, in 24 states, read 19 September 2026. That makes it a regional item, on some menus and not others. Most often in North Dakota (ten of the ten restaurants read there), Minnesota (eight of the ten restaurants read there) and South Dakota (eight of the nine restaurants read there). States with no listing on the read date are missing from the by-state table above; the table names the 24 that had one.

By state median, Kansas was lowest at $2.59 and New York highest at $4.89. 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, Chili Cheese Burrito is the 7th cheapest by median price. The section median is $3.25, so it is $0.25 above it. At the median price it costs $0.92 per 100 calories and $2.33 per 10 g of protein.

Taco Bell announces $3.00 for it: Luxe Value Menu, $3 or less. On the read date 56 of the 103 restaurants read priced it above $3.00, the highest at $4.89. The announcement and the reads are both printed here; neither replaces the other.

The record against a day

380 calories is 19 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 42 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 15 g, 3.9 g per 100 calories.

For sodium it sits below the Burritos median of 1,155 mg.

Allergens and certification

The brand’s own tool lists Chili Cheese Burrito as free of eggs, fish, MSG, peanuts, sesame, shellfish and tree nuts. The label warns of gluten, milk, soy 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.” Soy is listed on the label; the guide adds that “Soybean oil is not indicated as an allergen.”

Chili (Regional) stops it being vegetarian as served: Chili (Regional) carries no vegetarian tag in the statement, while Flour Tortilla and Cheddar Cheese are tagged.

Ways to change it

It can be ordered grilled at no calorie change. Protein swaps, with the calories the product page prints for each: Chili (no calories, no charge). Sauces: Avocado Ranch Sauce (70 calories, $0.69 to $0.70), Chipotle Sauce (70 calories, $0.69 to $0.70), Creamy Jalapeño Sauce (60 calories, $0.69 to $0.75), Guacamole (35 calories, $1.10 to $1.15), Mexican Pizza Sauce (10 calories, $0.00 to $0.30), Nacho Cheese Sauce (30 calories, $1.00), Pepper Jack Sauce (no calories, $0.30) and Red Sauce (10 calories, $0.25 to $0.50). 17 add-ons are offered; the heaviest are Potatoes at 100 calories, Fiesta Strips at 80 calories, Seasoned Beef at 70 calories and Beans at 60 calories. The removable components and what each carries: Cheese (25 calories).

The option calories are the ordering menu’s own figures for the option, printed as it prints them; a swapped build is not a nutrition record, so the panel on this page stays the item as published. Option prices were read at five of the restaurants and are printed with that count, never as a national figure.
