The brand’s definition
“Fresco-Style replaces any mayo based sauces, reduced-fat sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, and shredded cheeses with diced tomatoes. It typically results in a reduction in calories and fat.”
That is the whole of the published rule: the dairy and the mayo-based sauces come off, diced tomatoes go on, and the guide says the result is typically fewer calories and less fat. The product page on the ordering menu carries a Fresco option on the lines that can take it, with a calorie change of its own.
Which components it removes
On the records, the components the rule names appear on most of the board: 19 items carry reduced-fat sour cream, 17 nacho cheese sauce, 43 a cheese blend or cheddar and 23 a creamy sauce. Among the most listed: Bean Burrito, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce, Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider, Crunchy Taco and Crunchy Taco Supreme.
What is not published
A Fresco figure per item. The nutrition menu carries each item as published, and the guide’s note is the only figure it gives, so this site prints the item and quotes the rule rather than computing a Fresco panel it cannot check. Pico de gallo is a component with a record of its own where it is sold.
Allergens after the swap
The allergen tool marks the item as published. The tool’s caution applies before and after any swap: “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.”
