Questions people actually ask
How much sodium is in a Chipotle bowl?
A typical build runs high: the comparison burrito above reaches about 2,240mg, roughly 97% of the FDA's daily limit. Ordered carefully, the same chain can produce a bowl near 1,020mg.
Which Chipotle ingredient has the most sodium?
Per standard portion, the chipotle-honey vinaigrette and the burrito tortilla lead, with fresh tomato salsa close behind at 550mg — far more than most people expect from a fresh salsa.
How do I order low sodium at Chipotle?
Choose a bowl over a burrito, skip the salsas or ask for green chili in place of tomato, skip the cheese, and take guacamole instead of queso. The build above shows what that adds up to.

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is calculated from Chipotle's own published nutrition facts chart, captured 2026-09-14. Items are shown as normally served unless a build is spelled out. Real orders are assembled by hand, so treat these as close estimates rather than laboratory measurements — and if a number matters to you medically, confirm it with the restaurant.
