Tax, delivery, customization and local price differences are not included.
What matters before you order
The Mini Taco Salad is a small open-bowl specialty, not a large restaurant-style salad. The $2.49 price covers beef, beans, vegetables, cheese and sauce inside an edible tortilla bowl, making it a compact value option rather than a low-calorie leafy meal.
What the price means
It is $0.50 above a Soft Taco and $0.30 below the Beefy Potato Loaded Griller. At 280 calories, it sits below the heavier value burritos but above the basic tacos. The included tortilla bowl and beans make the comparison more complete than the word 'salad' alone suggests.
Item overview
A crispy tortilla bowl with seasoned beef, Chipotle sauce, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and refried beans.
What is included
This component list is taken from the current Taco Bell-controlled product page used in this research. It describes the referenced base configuration, not every possible customization.
Official customization paths
- Supreme: adds reduced-fat sour cream and tomatoes
Popular upgrade reference
| Upgrade | Reference add-on price | Added calories |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced-Fat Sour Cream | $0.90 | 20 Cal |
| Guacamole | $1.15 | 40 Cal |
How to customize without losing the value
The official Supreme option is less intuitive here because tomatoes already appear in the base description; local checkout should show the exact change. Guacamole raises the estimated subtotal to $3.64. Fiesta strips or another crunchy add-on duplicate a texture the tortilla bowl already provides.

Practical ordering advice
Eat it soon after pickup because sauce and warm fillings can soften the edible bowl. For delivery, compare a sealed burrito if structural reliability matters more than the open salad format. Keep any extra sauce separate until eating, and use a flat carrying surface because the tortilla bowl is easier to crack or tip than a wrapped menu item.
Availability intelligence

Nutrition and allergen use
The current listing is 280 calories. The tortilla bowl, cheese and Chipotle sauce mean this should not be described as automatically light or allergen-safe. Ingredient removals may alter the total, but the site should not calculate a revised number without official nutrition output.
