How many calories are in a steak burrito?
One steak burrito weighing 248 g carries 454 calories. Per 100 g the same burrito runs 183 calories, which is modest for a hand-held meal, so the weight is what builds the total. Half of one lands at 227. The number that climbs faster than calories here is sodium: 1,324 mg in a single burrito.
You'd need to walk about 91 minutes to burn the 454 calories in one burrito (248 g).

Steak burrito quick facts
The record behind every number on this page is SR Legacy 170335, "TACO BELL, BURRITO SUPREME with steak". It is a chain item, and that is exactly why it works as the reference: it is the only USDA entry for a true steak burrito that comes with a full nutrient profile and a real weight, 248 g. Everything else in the database is either ground beef in a tortilla or steak in a sandwich. When you unwrap a foil-wrapped steak burrito at a counter, this is the closest thing to what is in your hand.
Two things the table below does not show. Total sugars and added sugars are absent because the SR Legacy edition never carried them for this record, and inventing a figure would be worse than leaving it out. Cholesterol and potassium are there in the source: one burrito supplies 52 mg of cholesterol, 17% of the Daily Value, and 565 mg of potassium, 12%.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 1 burrito (248 g) | % Daily Value |

| Total fat | 7.27 g | 18.0 g | 23% |
| Saturated fat | 2.67 g | 6.6 g | 33% |
| Carbohydrate | 20.32 g | 50.4 g | 18% |
| Dietary fiber | 2.4 g | 6.0 g | 21% |

The shape of that column is unusual for fast food. Protein at 45% and fiber at 21% of a day in one item are genuinely useful, and the beans behind that fiber are doing quiet work. Saturated fat at 33% and sodium at 58% are the costs. You are not buying empty calories here; you are buying a dense, salty, reasonably balanced lunch.
US servings, from one ounce to a whole burrito
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 51 kcal |
| 4 oz | 113 g | 207 kcal |
| Half a burrito | 124 g | 227 kcal |
| 6 oz | 170 g | 311 kcal |
| One burrito | 248 g | 454 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 183 kcal |
Only the 248 g burrito is a USDA serving. The ounce rows and the half-burrito row are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings, which is worth knowing if you ever weigh half a burrito and want to check the math yourself.
That half-burrito row is the one people actually use. Splitting a steak burrito with someone, or wrapping half for later, costs 227 calories, about 11.3 g of protein and 662 mg of sodium, 29% of the Daily Value. It turns a heavy lunch into a normal one without changing a single ingredient. The ounce rows matter for a different reason: burritos are sold by piece, never by weight, so a "large" at one counter can be a third heavier than a "regular" at another and no menu will tell you.

Steak against ground beef is the swap most people assume changes the calories. It does not. Both the steak record and the beef version sit at 183 calories per 100 g. What changes is the makeup: 9.13 g of protein and 20.32 g of carbohydrate per 100 g with steak, against 7.03 g of protein and 23.37 g of carbohydrate with ground beef. Same energy, better protein-to-carb ratio on the steak side.
The freezer aisle is where the spread opens up. Across six USDA Branded steak burritos the density runs from 176 to 229 calories per 100 g, a narrow band. The packet totals are not narrow at all: Don Miguel's beef steak burrito is 198 g and 420 calories, Artisan Bistro's grilled version is 170 g and 389, Udi's gluten-free is 142 g and 250, and Boulder Brands' spicy burrito is 312 g and 612. Same aisle, same food, and a 2.4x range from smallest to largest. Read the grams on the box before you read the calories.
The bowl deserves its own note, because it is sold as the lighter choice. Per 100 g a steak burrito bowl is 185 calories against the burrito's 183 — the same food, effectively. A 227 g bowl comes to 420 calories only because it weighs less than the 248 g burrito. Dropping the tortilla shifts what is inside, not the density of the plate.
Sodium is the row that decides your day
One burrito is 1,324 mg of sodium, 58% of the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg. In kitchen terms that is a bit over half a teaspoon of table salt, bound up in seasoned meat, cheese, sauce and tortilla where you cannot taste it as salt. Eat two burritos in a day and you have passed the whole limit before breakfast, coffee or anything else is counted.
Saturated fat behaves the same way. At 6.6 g per burrito you are at 33% of a day from one item. Calories, by contrast, are the well-behaved row: 454 fits comfortably inside a normal lunch, and half a burrito is 227.
The protein is the reason to keep this food on the list anyway. At 22.6 g it clears 45% of the Daily Value in one wrapper, and MyPlate's guidance on protein foods treats lean beef as a core option rather than something to work around. If you are watching sodium, the practical move is not to skip the burrito but to make it the salty item of the day and keep the rest of the plate plain.
How does a steak burrito compare?
| Item | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steak burrito supreme | 183 kcal | one burrito, 248 g | 454 kcal |
| Beef burrito supreme | 183 kcal | per 100 g only | 183 kcal |
| Burrito with beans, cheese and beef | 180 kcal | per 100 g only | 180 kcal |
| Steak and cheese sub on white bread | 183 kcal | per 100 g only | 183 kcal |
USDA carries no gram weight for the other three, so they can only be compared honestly per 100 g. That comparison is startling in how flat it is: three of the four land on exactly 183 calories per 100 g, and the beans-and-cheese burrito is the lowest of the set at 180. Protein is where they separate. The steak burrito holds 9.13 g per 100 g, both beef records 7.03 g, and only the sandwich beats it, at 12.29 g.
Our take: pick the steak version. At identical density it hands you two extra grams of protein per 100 g and three fewer grams of carbohydrate than the ground beef build, so the swap is free. Then control the total with weight, not with the filling — half a burrito is a 227-calorie decision, while steak-versus-beef is a zero-calorie one. And if sodium is your live constraint, the burrito is the item to eat alone rather than alongside other salty sides.

Steak burrito FAQs
How many calories are in a steak burrito?
454 calories in one 248 g steak burrito, the USDA fast-food record. That works out to 183 calories per 100 g, so the size of the tortilla and the amount of filling decide the total more than the steak does. Half a burrito is 227 calories.
How many calories in a Taco Bell steak burrito supreme?
454 calories for the 248 g record USDA lists as Taco Bell Burrito Supreme with steak. It carries 22.6 g of protein, 50.4 g of carbohydrate and 18 g of fat. Chains reformulate over time, so treat it as the benchmark for a steak burrito of that size rather than today's menu.
Is a steak burrito high in protein?
22.6 g of protein in one 248 g burrito, which is 45% of the Daily Value. Per 100 g the steak record holds 9.13 g of protein against 7.03 g for the ground beef version. For a single hand-held lunch that is a solid protein load, and the beans add 6 g of fiber.
How much sodium is in a steak burrito?
1,324 mg of sodium in one 248 g burrito, 58% of the 2,300 mg Daily Value, or a bit over half a teaspoon of table salt. Two burritos in a day clear the whole limit on their own, before anything else you eat gets counted.
Steak burrito vs beef burrito: which has fewer calories?
Neither one is lower: both USDA records sit at 183 calories per 100 g. The difference is the makeup: steak gives 9.13 g of protein and 20.32 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, while ground beef gives 7.03 g of protein and 23.37 g of carbohydrate. Same calories, more protein with steak.
How many calories in half a steak burrito?
227 calories in half a 248 g burrito, which is 124 g. That half also carries about 11.3 g of protein and 662 mg of sodium, 29% of the Daily Value. This is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not a separate USDA serving.
How many calories in a frozen steak burrito?
250 to 612 calories, depending almost entirely on size. Udi's gluten-free burrito is 142 g and 250 calories; Boulder Brands' spicy steak burrito is 312 g and 612. Per 100 g the branded burritos cluster between 176 and 229 calories, a much narrower spread than the packet totals suggest.
Is a steak burrito bowl lower in calories than a steak burrito?
420 calories for a 227 g steak burrito bowl against 454 for the 248 g burrito, so it is lower only because the bowl weighs less. Per 100 g the bowl is 185 calories against 183, essentially identical. Dropping the tortilla does not automatically drop the density.
