About Fast foods, taco with beef, cheese and lettuce, hard shell

The hard-shell taco is the crunchy classic: seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese and lettuce tucked into a crisp, fried corn tortilla shell. That snap of the shell is the signature of American-style tacos and a fast-food favorite.

Per 100 grams it carries about 226 calories, with roughly 8.9 grams of protein and 12.7 grams of fat — the fried shell and cheese push the fat higher than the soft version. Carbohydrate is about 19.9 grams with under a gram of sugar and a respectable 3.9 grams of fiber from the corn shell and lettuce. Sodium is moderate at around 397 milligrams per 100 grams, with about 28 milligrams of cholesterol.

A hard taco is a reasonably portioned, fiber-containing quick bite, but the fried shell and full-fat cheese make it richer than a soft taco of the same fillings. Choosing lean or grilled-chicken filling, adding extra lettuce, tomato and salsa, and going easy on the cheese and sour cream all lighten it without losing the crunch.
