It was delicious, but then I got worried about if they're allowed? I didn't have any sour cream or cheese on it. Jennifer

Can't remember at the moment but I think it has egg whites. I often buy it for lunch, though, and just have them leave off the dressing. I don't eat all of the guacamole so it is not so high in fat. Our local Taco Bell makes alot of mistakes lol. Today they forgot to put the beans on mine. They also have a side of just beans and rice that will do in a pinch if I don't get lunch packed before work.

Cantina Bowl: 560 calories, 22g fat, 3.5g saturated fat, 0g trans fat, 60mg cholesterol, 1520 mg sodium, 64g carbs, 9g fiber, 4g sugar, 26g protein Cantina Burrito: 760 calories, 27g fat, 6g saturated fat, 0g trans fat, 60mg cholesterol, 1960mg sodium, 96g carbs, 12g fiber, 7g sugar, 32g protein Of course, this is with all the ingredients in the original "recipe". I'm going to order it "Fresco style" as they state on their website is available - pico de gallo in place of the mayo based sauces, lower fat cheese, etc. and see what happens. I almost never pick up fast food anymore but the Cantina menu looked pretty good.

The dressing has egg and "sour cream powder." Leaving these off will drop the fat, sodium, cholesterol, and calories considerably. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education
