Taco Bell publishes its nutrition, and the full chart below covers 36 items with fat, carbs, protein, sodium, sugar and fiber for the standard build. The headlines first: the Crunchy Taco is the lightweight (170 cal), the Cantina Chicken Bowl is the protein pick (28 g), and sodium is the menu’s real story — a Grilled Cheese Burrito carries 1,500 mg, two-thirds of the 2,300 mg day Taco Bell itself references.
Figures are for standard builds from Taco Bell’s published data (October 2026); customising changes them. Where a source figure could not be verified — mostly sugar and fiber on newer items — the cell reads — rather than a guess. Prices for everything here are on the Taco Bell menu page.

Highest-Protein Taco Bell Items
| Item | Calories | Protein | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cantina Chicken Bowl | 490 | 28 g | 1,200 mg |
| Breakfast Quesadilla — Steak | 510 | 28 g | 1,310 mg |
| Grande Toasted Breakfast Burrito — Steak | 570 | 27 g | 1,370 mg |
| Grilled Cheese Burrito — Beef | 720 | 26 g | 1,500 mg |
| Chicken Quesadilla | 510 | 26 g | 1,250 mg |
| Steak Quesadilla | 520 | 26 g | 1,270 mg |
The Cantina line earns its premium here: the Cantina Chicken Bowl (28 g protein, 490 cal) and the 5-piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets (26 g, 320 cal) are the two most protein-efficient items on the menu. Breakfast quietly competes — the steak breakfast builds run 27–28 g.
Lowest-Calorie Picks
| Item | Calories | Fat | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Beans | 50 | 1.5 g | 3 g |
| Hash Brown | 160 | 11 g | 1 g |
| Crunchy Taco | 170 | 9 g | 8 g |
| Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco | 170 | 10 g | 8 g |
| Cinnamon Twists | 170 | 6 g | 1 g |
| Cinnabon Delights 2 Pack | 170 | 11 g | 2 g |
Black Beans (50 cal) aside, the real lightweights are the Crunchy Taco and Doritos Locos Taco at 170, the Cheesy Roll Up at 180 and the Soft Taco at 180. Fresco Style trims most tacos and burritos further by swapping cheese and creamy sauces for pico de gallo — and the bean burrito remains the fiber champion at 11 g.
Vegetarian, Vegan & Fresco
Taco Bell was the first US quick-service chain with American Vegetarian Association (AVA) certified vegetarian items — certified builds are lacto-ovo, and the certified bench runs deep: Bean Burrito, Spicy Potato Soft Taco, Black Bean Crunchwrap, Cheese Quesadilla, Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes and more. Its refried beans are made without lard. Taco Bell certifies individual ingredients as vegan (beans, rice, tortillas, guacamole, potatoes) rather than whole standard items, so a vegan order is a customised one: Fresco Style plus a bean or potato swap. Its “Veggie Mode” kiosk filter shows vegetarian items only.
Taco Bell Allergen Information
Summary of Taco Bell’s declared-allergen guide (C = contains, S = some builds). Milk is in nearly every savoury item; wheat tracks the flour tortilla; egg arrives via creamy sauces and breakfast; and Taco Bell lists its chips and nachos as containing gluten although they carry no wheat ingredient — gluten and wheat are tracked separately. Peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish are not used in regular menu items per Taco Bell’s own statement, but may appear in test/LTO items, and cross-contact in shared kitchens cannot be ruled out.

Taco Bell Nutrition FAQs
What is the healthiest thing at Taco Bell?
By the numbers: the Cantina Chicken Bowl (490 cal, 28 g protein) for a meal, the Crunchy Taco (170 cal) for a single item, and Black Beans (50 cal, 3 g protein) as a side. Fresco Style improves almost anything you apply it to.
How many calories are in a Crunchwrap Supreme?
530 calories, with 21 g fat, 71 g carbs, 16 g protein and 1,210 mg sodium in the standard build. The Black Bean version is 520 cal.
Which Taco Bell item has the most sodium?
In this chart, the Grilled Cheese Burrito at 1,500 mg — about 65% of the 2,300 mg daily reference. Boxes and combos can exceed a full day’s reference on their own.
Does Taco Bell have high-protein options?
Yes: the Cantina Chicken Bowl (28 g), 5-piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets (26 g), Grilled Cheese Burrito (26 g) and the steak breakfast builds (27–28 g).
Are Taco Bell’s beans vegan?
The refried beans are made without lard and are among Taco Bell’s certified vegan ingredients, along with black beans, seasoned rice, tortillas and guacamole. Whole items still need customising (Fresco, no cheese) to be vegan builds.
Conclusion
Taco Bell’s chart rewards the Cantina line and punishes nothing you wouldn’t expect — watch the sodium column and let Fresco do quiet work. For saving money on the same items, the coupons and Rewards guide is next; for builds that bend the chart, the secret menu.
