Health Benefits of Burritos
Burritos can be a balanced meal when made with quality ingredients. The protein content (8.7g per 100g) provides amino acids for muscle repair, especially when the filling includes seasoned ground beef, chicken, or steak. Beans, a common burrito ingredient, add plant protein, fiber, and complex carbs that digest slowly and sustain energy.
The 6.9g of fiber per 100g is one of the highest values among prepared foods. This comes primarily from beans and any vegetables in the filling. High fiber intake supports digestive health, feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and helps regulate blood sugar by slowing carbohydrate absorption.
The 113mcg of folate per 100g covers a significant portion of the daily requirement. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division. The 36mg of magnesium per 100g supports muscle function and energy production. Selenium at 13.6mcg per 100g supports antioxidant defense systems.
For meal prep, building your own burritos lets you control every macro. Use a large flour tortilla (or a lower-carb alternative), season ground turkey or chicken breast, add black beans for fiber and extra protein, include salsa for flavor with minimal calories, and skip the sour cream and extra cheese if you are cutting. A well-built burrito can deliver 35 to 45g of protein with controlled fat.
Dietary Considerations
A standard burrito is not keto-friendly due to the flour tortilla and rice (if included), with 39g of carbs per 100g. Standard burritos are not gluten-free due to the flour tortilla. Corn tortilla burritos are gluten-free. Burritos can support weight loss if built strategically with lean protein, beans, lots of vegetables, and minimal cheese, sour cream, or guacamole. The sodium content (659mg per 100g, over 760mg per burrito) is high, so those monitoring sodium should be mindful. Vegetarian and vegan burritos can be made with beans and plant-based fillings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories in a burrito?
One standard cooked burrito (116g) has about 346 calories. Fast-food and restaurant burritos are often much larger (200 to 500g) and can contain 500 to 1,100 calories. Homemade burritos allow you to control the calorie count precisely.
Is a burrito good for weight loss?
A burrito can fit into a weight loss diet if built correctly. Prioritize lean protein (chicken or turkey), beans for fiber, lots of vegetables, and minimal high-fat additions like cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Avoid oversized tortillas and extra rice if targeting a calorie deficit.
How much protein in a burrito?
One burrito (116g) has about 10.1g of protein. This increases significantly with the protein source used. Adding extra chicken breast or ground beef, or doubling the beans, can push a burrito to 35 to 50g of protein.
Is a burrito gluten-free?
Traditional burritos use flour tortillas, which contain gluten. For a gluten-free burrito, use a certified gluten-free corn tortilla. Many restaurants offer corn tortilla alternatives. Check that all other ingredients are also gluten-free.
How many carbs are in a burrito?
One burrito (116g) has about 45.2g of carbs with 8g of fiber. The carbs come primarily from the flour tortilla (around 25 to 30g) and any rice in the filling. Removing the rice and using a smaller tortilla significantly reduces the carb count.
What is the healthiest way to build a burrito?
For a high-protein, lower-calorie burrito: use a standard-size (not burrito-size) flour or corn tortilla, fill with seasoned chicken breast or ground turkey, add black beans, salsa, lettuce, and tomato, and skip or minimize the rice, cheese, and sour cream. This approach can deliver 35g of protein for around 400 to 500 calories.
