What is in the Cheesy Gordita Crunch

A soft gordita flatbread wrapped around a crunchy taco shell, with a layer of melted three-cheese blend binding them together.

Cheesy Gordita Crunch nutrition facts

Full nutrition breakdown for one Cheesy Gordita Crunch, based on Taco Bell’s official US nutrition data.

Nutrient	Amount per Cheesy Gordita Crunch
Calories	500
Total fat	28g
Total carbohydrates	41g
Protein	20g
Sodium	1010mg

The double shell and cheese layer push the Gordita Crunch to 500 calories with 28g of fat and 1010 mg of sodium. It also delivers 20g of protein. This is the item you order when you want the full Taco Bell experience, not when you are counting strictly.

Customization options

The Gordita Crunch takes the full Taco Bell customization menu. Swap beef for chicken or steak, add beans or rice, extra cheese, or jalapenos. Fresco style removes the sour cream and cheese, which undercuts the entire concept. This is an item to load up, not strip down.

Allergens

The Cheesy Gordita Crunch contains gluten, milk, soy, and wheat. The wheat and gluten come from both shells, the milk from the cheese blend, sour cream, and cheddar, and the soy from the seasoned beef. A broad allergen list, as expected for a loaded specialty.

Gordita Crunch vs Chalupa Supreme

The Cheesy Gordita Crunch (500 cal, from $5.69) versus the Chalupa Supreme (350 cal, from $5.23): the Gordita is the heavier, richer item with its double shell and cheese layer. The chalupa is lighter and cheaper. Pick the Gordita when you want indulgence, the chalupa when you want balance.

Getting the best gordita value

• The Cheesy Gordita Crunch starts from $5.69. It appears in Taco Bell’s cravings boxes and deluxe combos, which bring the per-item price down.
