Taco Bell offers several chalupas. These items are served in a thick, crisp shell packed with a variety of ingredients. Depending on the chalupa's filling, the caloric content varies. Armed with nutritional information for chalupas, you can choose the chalupa with the lowest number of calories.
Steak Chalupa Nacho Cheese
This item is the lowest calorie chalupa offering at Taco Bell. It contains seasoned beef, nacho cheese, lettuce and diced tomatoes. The Steak Chalupa Nacho Cheese has 330 calories, or 16.5 percent of your daily recommended value.
XXL Chalupa
Not surprisingly, this extra-large beef chalupa contains the most calories of any option. With 650 calories, this item provides 32.5 percent of your daily recommended calorie intake. According to MayoClinic.com, any caloric percent value over 20 percent is considered "high" in calories.
Alternatives
If you're looking for a hearty, beef option, you can opt for the 370-calorie Beef Chalupa Nacho Cheese. To further cut calories, consider moving away from chalupas altogether in favor of the 150-calorie Fresco Crunchy Taco, loaded with beef, lettuce, sour cream and salsa.
