Gordita Crunch Duos

What Taco Bell says it is

Taco Bell’s own description on the ordering menu: “A set of two soft, pillowy flatbreads filled with a blend of mozzarella, pepperjack, and cheddar cheeses, wrapped around freshly fried white-corn shells, with savory, slow-roasted chicken, creamy chipotle sauce, lettuce, and freshly prepared pico de gallo.” The newsroom release behind it: “Gordita Crunch Duos come two to an order, with a choice of grilled, marinated steak or savory slow-roasted chicken, layered with warm, pillowy flatbread, a melty three-cheese blend and a crispy white-corn shell, plus creamy chipotle sauce, crisp lettuce and freshly prepared daily pico de gallo.” “Fans can grab Gordita Crunch Duos a la carte for $5.49* or discover them as part of the $9* Discovery Luxe Box, alongside a Doritos Locos Taco, Crunchy Taco, Chips & Nacho Cheese Sauce and a medium fountain drink.” “Gordita Crunch Duos hit menus nationwide starting September 17 for a limited time.” The nutrition menu still carries the record under its earlier name, Cheesy Gordita Crunch Sliders; the figures on this page are that record’s.

The two calorie figures

For Gordita Crunch Duos the two figures match: both print 340 calories. The unrounded figure behind the record is 342.1, which the nutrition menu rounds to 340 the way a menu board rounds, to the nearest 10 above 50 calories.

Three records are published for it, Chicken at 340, Beef at 350 and Steak at 340, and the ticket on this page prints whichever the picker has chosen.

Where it was listed

Gordita Crunch Duos was listed at 439 of the 452 restaurants read, in 50 states and DC on 19 September 2026. That makes it a core item: on nine in ten of the restaurant menus read or more.

The cheapest state median on the read date was Alabama at $5.49, the dearest Connecticut at $7.79. A state median stands on ten restaurants at most, so a single expensive or cheap restaurant moves it; the national range is the safer figure. Pick a state on the board or on the prices by state page and the ticket on every page prices its lines at that state’s medians beside the national range.

What the price buys

7th of 12: that is where Gordita Crunch Duos sits in Specialties, cheapest first. The section median is $5.99, so it is right at the middle. At the median price it costs $1.76 per 100 calories and $3.33 per 10 g of protein.

Taco Bell announces $5.49 for it: announced a la carte at $5.49 in the newsroom release of 17 September 2026. On the read date 269 of the 439 restaurants read priced it above $5.49, the highest at $7.79. The announcement and the reads are both printed here; neither replaces the other.

The ordering menu sells it as two options, each priced on its own: Slow-Roasted Chicken Gordita Crunch Duos 2pk at a median of $5.99 and Steak Gordita Crunch Duos 2pk at a median of $5.99.

The record against a day

340 calories is 17 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 30 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium limit the FDA uses for the daily value. Saturated fat is 6 g, 30 percent of the 20 g daily value. Protein runs 18 g, 5.3 g per 100 calories.

For sodium it sits below the Specialties median of 890 mg.

Allergens and certification

Taco Bell’s allergen tool marks Gordita Crunch Duos free of fish, MSG, peanuts, sesame, shellfish and tree nuts. The label warns of eggs, gluten, milk, soy and wheat. The tool’s own caution: “While a particular ingredient may not contain one of these allergens, our products may be prepared on the same equipment and in the same kitchen area as those that do.” Soy is listed on the label; the guide adds that “Soybean oil is not indicated as an allergen.”

Slow Roasted Shredded Chicken stops it being vegetarian as served: Slow Roasted Shredded Chicken carries no vegetarian tag in the statement, while Gordita Flatbread, Three Cheese Blend, Pico de Gallo, Iceberg Lettuce, Creamy Chipotle Sauce and White Corn Shell are tagged.

Ways to change it

Protein swaps, with the calories the product page prints for each: Black Beans (50 calories, no charge), Seasoned Beef (70 calories, no charge) and Slow-Roasted Chicken (60 calories, no charge). The removable components and what each carries: Chipotle Sauce (50 calories), Lettuce (no calories), Pico De Gallo (5 calories) and Three-Cheese Blend (90 calories).

The option calories are the ordering menu’s own figures for the option, printed as it prints them; a swapped build is not a nutrition record, so the panel on this page stays the item as published. Option prices were read at five of the restaurants and are printed with that count, never as a national figure.

Meals it comes in

Gordita Crunch Duos is a fixed part of one meal on the menus read: Discovery Luxe Box ($9.00 median). The cheapest of them, Discovery Luxe Box, costs $3.01 more than the Gordita Crunch Duos alone at the medians.

Next to it on the board
