QDOBA Chile Crema Calories

Short answer

QDOBA chile crema has 130 calories in the documented 1-ounce, or 28-gram, serving. The row also lists 14 grams of total fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 1 gram of carbs, 1 gram of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 290 milligrams of sodium. Its allergen code is E for egg.

Those numbers cover chile crema alone. They do not include a bowl, burrito, taco, quesadilla, salad, nachos, tortilla, rice, beans, protein, queso, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, tortilla strips, chips, side, dessert, or drink. Count every selected component separately.

What the one-ounce chile crema row shows

The displayed 14 grams of fat are a major part of the one-ounce row, while carbs and protein are minimal at 1 gram and 0 grams. The 2 grams of saturated fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, and 290 milligrams of sodium provide additional context that a calorie-only comparison would miss.

The sodium value belongs inside the complete meal total. Tortillas, rice, beans, proteins, queso, cheese, salsa, chips, and other sauces may contribute their own sodium. The QDOBA sodium planning guide helps identify which documented components drive a custom order.

Restaurant values are published for a defined serving and are rounded. A drizzle, spoonful, or side cup cannot confirm ounces by appearance. Use 28 grams as the source baseline, then state whether the amount eaten was assumed to be a fraction, one serving, or more than one.

• Documented serving: 1 ounce or 28 grams.
• Per serving: 130 calories, 14 grams of fat, and 290 milligrams of sodium.
• Allergen field: egg.

Half, regular, and double serving estimates

If about half of the documented serving is eaten, proportional math gives an estimate of 65 calories, 7 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, about 0.5 gram of carbs, and 145 milligrams of sodium. These are calculated fractions, not a separate restaurant-published half-ounce row.

Two full one-ounce servings total 260 calories, 28 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 2 grams of carbs, 2 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 580 milligrams of sodium. Count that subtotal only if two source-sized servings reasonably match the amount eaten.

Asking for a sauce on the side can make the consumed fraction easier to estimate, but a container is still not a scale. If some sauce remains, count the part eaten rather than the amount ordered. Keep uncertainty in the portion estimate instead of modifying the official nutrition row.

Chile crema compared with salsa and sour cream

The documented one-ounce salsa rows range from 5 to 25 calories, while one ounce of chile crema lists 130. Calories are not the only difference: salsa rows carry their own sodium and carb values, while chile crema lists 14 grams of fat and an egg allergen. The salsa calorie comparison keeps those rows separate.

Sour cream lists 50 calories per documented ounce and carries a milk allergen code rather than egg. It has different fat, saturated fat, carb, protein, and sodium values. Read the QDOBA sour cream calorie article before treating the two creamy toppings as equivalent.

Choosing a smaller amount of chile crema or combining it with salsa changes the arithmetic, but taste and dietary suitability remain individual. Compare equal weights and complete-meal totals rather than assigning a universal “best” sauce from one nutrient.

Chile crema compared with queso and cheese

Queso and shredded cheese use separate source rows, serving sizes, and allergen fields. Queso portions are commonly documented at two and four ounces, so comparing a 130-calorie one-ounce crema line with a larger queso serving without adjusting for portion size can distort the choice.

The QDOBA queso calorie guide explains its portion rows, while the shredded cheese calorie article covers the adult and kids cheese servings. If a meal contains crema plus queso or cheese, add all of them rather than choosing only one row.

Allergen codes also differ. The chile crema row lists egg; queso and shredded cheese source rows list milk. A combined meal can therefore contain multiple listed allergens, and an ingredient comparison cannot establish cross-contact safety.

Adding chile crema to a bowl, burrito, or taco order

For a bowl, total rice or another base, beans, protein, vegetables, salsa, queso, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, tortilla strips, dressing, and extras. Add 130 calories when one documented chile crema serving is the chosen assumption. A bowl has no fixed total because ingredients and served amounts vary.

A burrito uses the same component method and also needs its tortilla counted. The bowl versus burrito guide shows why sauce does not include the wrap. If crema appears alongside cheese, queso, or tortilla strips, all four remain visible lines.

For tacos, decide whether one ounce describes sauce spread across the complete order or an amount used per taco. Add one serving in the first case and the actual number of servings in the second. For salads or nachos, shells, chips, dressings, and toppings are additional components.

Egg allergen, recipe, heat, and source limits

The official row marks chile crema with E for egg. It should not be described as egg-free or vegan from this source. Shared utensils, counters, gloves, storage, and preparation areas can matter, so a listed code cannot settle every cross-contact or medical safety question.

Nutrition fields do not disclose a complete recipe and do not establish a guaranteed spice level. Perceived heat can vary by recipe updates, batch, serving amount, accompanying ingredients, and individual taste. This article therefore does not reproduce a copycat recipe or promise mild, medium, or hot flavor.

Recipes, portions, suppliers, allergen information, and availability can change after the saved source date. Review current official materials through the nutrition source page and current ordering channels when an allergy, ingredient, preparation, or availability decision matters.
