What ingredients are removed when ordering fresco style?

Choosing to order a menu item "fresco style" at Taco Bell modifies the ingredients to create a lighter option that emphasizes fresh flavors. Specifically, when ordering fresco style, the cheese and sour cream are removed from the item. This alteration not only reduces the calorie content but also allows for the addition of freshly prepared pico de gallo, which enhances the taste with a vibrant and fresh flavor profile.

Salsa and lettuce are not part of the standard ingredients affected by the fresco style option. Similarly, guacamole and rice are not typically included in the adjustments made when choosing the fresco style, nor are beans and avocado ranch sauce. The key change lies in the removal of cheese and sour cream, making this choice a suitable option for those seeking a lower-fat or lower-calorie meal.
