The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Protein: Chicken → Ground beefSauce: Salsa → Sour creamShell: Corn tortilla → Crispy corn shellCheese: + CheeseSauce: + Guacamole
  • The shell is the hidden lever: a soft baked corn tortilla vs a deep-fried crispy shell flips the base from bread to fried snack.
  • Grilled chicken vs pan-crisped ground beef roughly doubles the fat in the filling.
  • The creamy layer — melted cheese, sour cream and guacamole — stacks three fat-dense toppings where the lower-calorie taco gets salsa at ~30 kcal/100g.
