Chips & Sides — calories at a glance
Sides are where a controlled order turns into a splurge: chips alone are 540 calories, and the habit of adding a dip turns one side into a 700–1,000 calorie course. Count it honestly above — the calorie bar at the bottom updates as you tap each side, and the numbers below are pre-counted for the classic pairings.
The math people actually need: chips and guacamole together run about 770 calories; chips and queso blanco about 660; chips with all three dips clear 1,000. If you're counting calories for the whole table, the salsas are effectively free — 25 to 60 calories each — so load them on anything. The calorie cost is concentrated in exactly two places: the fried chips and the creamy dips. Order those deliberately, not by reflex, and the side stops being the most expensive part of the meal. Every number here comes from the same official nutrition facts as the main-dish pages. For a full meal picture, pair this page with the main-dish calculators — burrito calories, bowl calories or salad calories — and add the side's numbers to whichever main you counted.

What moves the numbers
- Chips are the calorie anchor: 540 calories per serving, before any dip.
- Guacamole is the most nutritious dip — 6 g of fiber and mostly unsaturated fat.
- Queso blanco is the sodium-heaviest side on the menu per serving.
- Fresh tomato salsa is nearly free at 25 calories — the best volume-for-calories dip available.
- A side of chips with queso and guacamole lands near 900 calories: more than most main dishes.
- Splitting the chips two ways halves the per-person calories — the calculator above lets you tap half portions by simply counting one box as shared.
Chips & Sides FAQ
How many calories are in chips and guacamole?
About 770 calories — 540 for the chips plus 230 for a 4 oz serving of guacamole.
Which side is healthiest?

Chips alone carry 390 mg; adding queso blanco brings the side order past 800 mg of sodium.
How many calories are in a side of chips alone?
540 calories per serving — comparable to an entire modest burrito, before any dip.
Is guacamole worth the calories?
