The classic builds are the same parts but for the Soft Flour Tortilla (taco) (three, a taco order, 3 oz) on the Chicken Tacos and the Flour Tortilla (burrito), Cilantro-Lime White Rice and Black Beans on the Chicken Burrito: Chicken Tacos at 680 calories against Chicken Burrito at 1,090 calories, 410 calories apart. That one part, Soft Flour Tortilla (taco) (three, a taco order, 3 oz), is 250 calories, 40 g of carbohydrate and 480 mg of sodium on its own record; it is the whole difference. At the medians the classic builds cost $9.80 and $9.80: the format does not move the price.
Three tortillas against one
An order of three tacos is priced level with a burrito ($9.80 for chicken at the medians) and carries the same 4 oz of protein split three ways. Three soft flour taco tortillas are 250 calories on their record against 320 calories for the one burrito tortilla; on crispy corn tortillas the order is the gluten free choice. “Your choice of three crispy corn or soft flour tortillas with meat, salsa, cheese or sour cream and romaine lettuce.”

Allergens and diets on the chart
The chart marks neither as containing any of its four allergens (dairy, soy, wheat and gluten, sulphites). The diet marks: Chicken Tacos keto and paleo and Chicken Burrito keto and paleo. Those are the proteins’ own rows; the classic builds add the tortilla (wheat and gluten), the cheese and the sour cream (dairy) and the salsa (sulphites) where they carry them, and each entree page prints the build’s marks under the bars. The chart’s caution applies to both: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.”

An entree’s record is its protein alone, which is why the formats compare as builds.
