The Bean & Cheese Burritos list more fiber than the Eight Layer Veggie Burrito in this source. That does not make one a universally better meal. It shows why the nutrient row is more useful than guessing from the word “veggie.”
Start with the actual portions
Both Bean & Cheese versions list 15 g fiber and 24 g protein at 280 g. The green-sauce version is 500 kcal and the red-sauce version is 520 kcal. The Eight Layer Veggie Burrito is a larger 342 g portion, 540 kcal, 9 g fiber and 18 g protein.
The 6 g fiber difference belongs to the full published orders. You cannot assign all of it to one ingredient without compatible ingredient records. “More layers” also does not automatically mean more of every nutrient.
The sauce versions are not identical
The green-sauce row lists 1,360 mg sodium and the red-sauce row 1,330 mg. Their 30 mg difference is small relative to the complete orders and published values are rounded estimates. Do not promise that every actual red-sauce burrito will have precisely 30 mg less.
Keep classification separate
This is a comparison of named menu entries, not an allergen or vegan certification. Consult the restaurant’s ingredient and allergen information for those questions. If fiber and protein are your priorities, use their reported amounts alongside calories, sodium and the portion you plan to eat; a plant-related title is not a substitute for those numbers.
