Taco Bell Cantina Chicken Burrito: Price, Calories & What's Inside 2026
A warm flour tortilla filled with a double portion of slow-roasted Cantina Chicken, Avocado Ranch and Creamy Chipotle sauces, lettuce, shredded purple cabbage, pico de gallo and shredded cheddar. It comes with a Jalapeño Citrus Salsa packet and an Avocado Verde Salsa packet. It is the burrito on Taco Bell's permanent Cantina Chicken Menu.
Quick Answer
The Taco Bell Cantina Chicken Burrito costs $6.29 and Taco Bell lists it at 570 calories (Taco Bell's website, checked October 1, 2026; prices vary by location). It has double the slow-roasted chicken of the Cantina Soft Taco, plus Avocado Ranch and Creamy Chipotle sauces, lettuce, purple cabbage, pico de gallo and cheddar. It has no rice, beans or guacamole.
What is in the Cantina Chicken Burrito?
Taco Bell builds it around a double portion of Cantina Chicken, double compared with the Cantina Chicken Soft Taco. Two sauces do most of the work: Avocado Ranch for creaminess and Creamy Chipotle for a smoky kick. Lettuce and shredded purple cabbage add crunch, and pico de gallo and cheddar finish it.
What it does not have matters just as much, because a lot of menu sites still list it wrong: there is no rice, no black beans and no guacamole inside. Those are in the Cantina Chicken Bowl, not the burrito.
Is the Cantina Chicken Burrito spicy?
Mildly. The Creamy Chipotle sauce gives it a smoky warmth, and the Avocado Ranch cools it back down. If you want more heat, the Jalapeño Citrus Salsa packet that comes with it is the easiest way to add some without changing the order.

Is the Cantina Chicken Burrito worth $6.29?
It is one of the pricier burritos on the menu. Based on Taco Bell's own listed prices, it works out to about $1.10 per 100 calories. The Burrito Supreme ($5.69, 390 calories) is about $1.46, and the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito ($4.19, 490 calories) is about $0.86. So it is not the cheapest way to get full, but it is the only burrito on the menu made with Cantina Chicken.
If you also want a drink and sides, the Cantina Chicken Burrito Combo adds a Crunchy Taco, Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce and a large drink for $11.69 total.
