The bacon and the sausage come in at 1470 mg and 1310 mg, respectively, and that’s still pretty horrible. Do your heart a favor, and skip these in favor of a breakfast soft taco and some coffee, if you just need your morning Taco Bell fix.

When one Taco Bell employee did an AMA on what goes on in the kitchen, they said that if you order in the morning, there’s a good chance the beans you get served are among the food left over from the night before, and rehydrated again in the morning.

While it’s certainly a cheap option at $1.99, this layered taco situation is bland and quite frankly, not worth the two bucks. At 320 calories, it contains all the usual gross ingredients, including plenty of saturated fat, salt, and carbs.

Yup that’s right, Taco Bell doesn’t use freshly baked legumes in its popular burrito. Instead, they use a rehydrated slew of mystery ingredients.

Sorry to break it to you, but the odds of finding a fresh, wholesome meal at Taco Bell is about as likely as running into a unicorn on your driveway. Sure, some of their dishes are high-protein and low in fat, but that’s where the good news ends. The vast majority of the food is drenched with bone-weakening sodium and artery-clogging saturated fats.

And until sometime next year, much of the meat will continue to be spiked with artificial preservatives and additives. Taco Bell’s employees know this and yet, many of them happily eat their deeply discounted meals while they’re on the clock.
