About this item
A single 4 oz portion of Chipotle's Chipotle, Carnitas delivers approximately 210 calories, placing it in the light meal range for items typically found on the Chipotle menu. Nutrition information on this page is sourced from the USDA Branded Foods dataset, which catalogs label data submitted by manufacturers for the US market. Use it as a starting point for tracking macros, comparing menu options, or building meals around your daily calorie target — and confirm at the restaurant if your portion or preparation differs.
Per serving, Chipotle, Carnitas contains 12.0 g of total fat (51% of calories), 7.0 g of saturated fat, 0.0 g of total carbohydrates, 0.0 g of sugars, 0.0 g of dietary fiber, and 23.0 g of protein (44% of calories). That macronutrient mix is fat-dominant, which is typical for breaded, fried, or cheese-heavy menu items. For a 2,000 calorie reference diet, this single item supplies roughly 11% of the daily energy budget — worth noting if you plan to combine it with sides, drinks, or a dessert from the rest of the Chipotle menu.
On the micronutrient side, the same serving carries 180 mg of sodium (8% of the FDA 2,300 mg daily limit). Sodium is the number most diners under-estimate at quick-service restaurants — many entrées clear a third of the daily cap before any side or sauce is added. If you are watching blood pressure or following a DASH-style eating pattern, balance Chipotle, Carnitas with low-sodium choices for the rest of the day, drink water, and consider skipping salted sides.
No major allergens were detected from the ingredient string supplied by the manufacturer for this product. That does not guarantee an allergen-free preparation: shared fryers, prep surfaces, and gloves at quick-service restaurants can still introduce wheat, milk, egg, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish, or sesame proteins through cross-contact. Always confirm with the location if you have a serious food allergy.
Ingredients (as published with the USDA submission): carnitas
Chipotle, Carnitas sits within the broader Chipotle menu alongside other items in the toppings & ingredients category. If you are tracking calories on a cutting phase, consider pairing it with a zero-calorie beverage and a side that prioritizes protein or fiber over refined carbs. If you are bulking or fueling a hard training day, the 210 calories and 23g protein per serving can be combined with a second item to round the meal out. Either way, the numbers above are per serving as listed — doubling up on portions, sauces, or extras will scale the calories and macros proportionally.
