Chipotle Sofritas Nutrition Facts
Chipotle sofritas has 150 calories, 8g of protein, 10g of fat, and 9g of carbs per 4 oz serving. It's the only plant-based protein on the Chipotle menu. Made from organic tofu braised with chipotle chilis, roasted poblanos, and a blend of aromatic spices.
Here's the trade-off you should know: sofritas delivers about one-quarter the protein of chicken (8g vs 32g) at the same serving size. It's also the only protein with significant carbohydrates (9g), which makes it a poor fit for strict keto diets.

What Is the Nutrition in Chipotle Sofritas?
Sofritas provides 8g of protein at 150 calories. The protein-per-calorie efficiency is 5.3g per 100 calories, the lowest of all protein options by a wide margin. For comparison, chicken delivers 17.8g per 100 cal. That's more than three times the efficiency.
The 10g of fat and 9g of carbs also set sofritas apart. Every meat protein has either zero carbs (chicken, carnitas) or minimal carbs (steak 1g, barbacoa 2g). Sofritas at 9g is in a different category.
How Does Sofritas Compare to Chipotle Chicken?
Sofritas has 30 fewer calories than chicken (150 vs 180) but delivers 75% less protein, with just 8g compared to chicken's 32g. Sofritas also has 43% more fat (10g vs 7g) and 81% more sodium (560mg vs 310mg). The protein-per-calorie efficiency gap is massive: chicken gives you 17.8g per 100 calories, sofritas gives you only 5.3g. Chicken is also zero carbs while sofritas has 9g.
| Metric | Sofritas | Chicken | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 150 | 180 | Sofritas is 30 cal lighter |
| Protein | 8g | 32g | Chicken has 4× more |
| Fat | 10g | 7g | Sofritas has 43% more fat |
| Carbs | 9g | 0g | Chicken has zero carbs |
| Sodium | 560mg | 310mg | Sofritas has 81% more |
| Per 100 Cal | 5.3g | 17.8g | 3.4× more efficient |
Sofritas does have fewer total calories. But the protein gap is dramatic. If you're choosing plant-based for dietary or ethical reasons, just know you're getting significantly less protein per serving and more sodium.
Is Chipotle Sofritas Keto-Friendly?
Not really. At 9g of carbs per serving, sofritas eats up a large chunk of a typical keto dieter's daily carb budget (usually 20-50g). Add toppings with carbs and you're approaching 20g just from the protein and a couple of toppings.
| Keto Build with Sofritas | Net Carbs |
|---|---|
| Sofritas + cheese + sour cream + lettuce | ~12g |
| Sofritas + guac + green salsa + lettuce | ~21g |
| Sofritas + cheese + guac + veggies | ~25g |
The first build barely fits strict keto. The others don't.
What Are Sofritas Made Of?
From the official Chipotle description: "Organic plant-based protein braised with chipotle chilis, roasted poblanos and a blend of aromatic spices."
The base is organic tofu. It's vegan and dairy-free. No animal products. Suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets when paired with appropriate toppings.
How Much Sodium Is in Chipotle Sofritas?
560mg per serving. That's the highest sodium of any protein option on the Chipotle menu:
Sofritas has 80% more sodium than chicken. In a full bowl with fresh tomato salsa (550mg) and white rice (350mg), a sofritas bowl's sodium easily crosses 1,500mg — about 65% of the daily recommended limit from just three ingredients.
