\"Taco<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Taco Bell’s new Beefy Crunch Burrito starts out like 70 percent of the Taco Bell menu with seasoned ground beef. Then it’s followed by ingredients found in 50-60 percent of Taco Bell’s menu: rice, nacho cheese sauce and sour cream. Then it’s wrapped in a flour tortilla, which is used by around 60 percent of Taco Bell’s menu items. <\/p>\n

However, the Flamin’ Hot Fritos stuffed inside the Beefy Crunch Burrito is a brand new ingredient that’s only in the Beefy Crunch Burrito. But knowing Taco Bell, it will eventually end up in tacos, Crunchwraps, quesadillas, nachos, Gorditas, Chalupas and salads.<\/p>\n

A Beefy Crunch Burrito has 510 calories, 200 calories from fat, 22 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 1250 milligrams of sodium, 61 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar and 15 grams of protein.<\/p>\n
