What to order at Taco Bell

Best bet: Power Menu Bowl, no rice — or anything Fresco Style

Main dishes

  • Fresco Style — swaps cheese, sour cream and sauces for pico de gallo
  • Power Menu Bowl with chicken or steak; ask for no rice and beans
  • Grilled steak soft taco or crunchy beef taco, Fresco Style
  • Any filling in a lettuce wrap

Sides

  • Black beans — protein and fiber
  • Pintos 'n cheese, small
  • Chips and guacamole, small, alongside protein

Worth knowing

  • Customizing is expected here — Fresco Style, no rice, lettuce wraps
  • Many sauces carry added sugar; hot sauce is the safer flavor
