The caloric breakout by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label sourced from the restaurant. Calories may vary by location, as a result of how it’s prepared, or due to topping choices.
Sodium
One serving is measured as a single super soft taco, which weighs 298 grams. A super soft taco has between 1,860 – 2,320 milligrams of sodium, depending on the selected protein.
The seasoned beef taco has the highest amount of sodium at 2,320mg, which is 100% of the value recommended by the FDA for an entire day (based on 2,000 calorie diet).
Fat
Of the three meat options, the chicken taco has the lowest amount of total fats. There are 16 grams of fat in the super soft chicken taco, compared to 21 grams of fat in the beef and pork options.
I have another point to make about the amount of fat per serving. The 21g fat in the seasoned beef soft taco includes 10 grams of saturated fat. For many Americans this is a fact to which some attention should be given.
