Is The Taco Bell Sauce In Pintos And Cheese Gluten-free?

Hi! I ate the pintos and cheese from taco bell with two crunchy tacos today, because I heard that they were gluten-free. But I forget if the Taco Bell Sauce in the beans is gluten-free? Thank you!

the taco sauce is gluten-free... but you said you had crunchy tacos, did you just get the shells and put your pintos and cheese in them or did you have the meat mixture? If so the meat mixture is NOT gluten-free.

That's exactly what I was thinking. My husband always gets the Southwest Steak Bowl with no Jalapeno sauce & pintos & cheese. He loads them up with sauce. Can't seem to get enough hot sauce.

Pintos and Cheese

Mexican Rice

Suggestions for Wheat and Gluten Sensitive Individuals

- Tostada

- Fiesta Taco Salad (order Chicken instead of Beef; order without the shell and without the Red Strips)

- Express Taco Salad (order Chicken instead of Beef)

- Zesty Chicken BORDER BOWL® (order without the Zesty Dressing and without the Red Strips)

- Southwest Steak Bowl (order without the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce)

The allergen information displayed on this site is based on standard product formulations and is current as of March 1, 2005. Variations may occur due to differences in suppliers, ingredient substitutions, recipe revisions, and/or product production at the restaurant.

That is the taco bell list. Hope it helps.

Like Nini said, the meat in the tacos is NOT gluten-free. You are causing damage to your insides if you are eating it. No matter ifyou are getting a reaction or not.

If you look at the nutritional page the box is "checked" for wheat. The tacos are NOT wheat-free. The meat isn't safe according to the taco bell corporation.

Thanks for the help!! I didnt have a clue that the tacos had gluten! No wonder I kept getting sick. I always thought it was just a cross contamination problem at home or gluten had slipped in somewhere. Now i know why! I use to get 3 tacos from taco bell about every couple days! thanks!

Hmmmm. Maybe we're not looking at the same link? It's this one: Open Original Shared Link

About 10 lines down, it says Taco, then Taco Supreme - under both of these, the Wheat selection is not checked (it's blank), however the Gluten column is checked. I was just wondering how something could not have wheat but still have gluten.

Barley (Malt), Rye or Oats?

the corn taco shells at taco Bell are NOT gluten free...I looked up "Taco Bell Ingredients". There is oat fiber in the corn tortilla shells and it said the shelld do contain gluten. I got sick, that's why I looked up.

Guest ~jules~

Taco Bell's taco seasoning (if bought at the store) the first ingridient is wheat flour.

Taco Bell corn taco shells have oat fiber - I found out when I ggogled Taco Bell ingredients. I got sick after eating chicken tacos in crunchy shells and wondered why.

      Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy.

      Thank you, I’m very happy to be here!! Yes, lately I get rashes and itching when I accidentally use topical skin products with gluten in them. I got a bad rash around my hairline after unknowingly using glutenous hairspray, and a near-full-body rash with a sea salt spray that I guess I rinsed off insufficiently in the shower. Neither looked like typical dermatitis herpetiformis to me based on the posts I’ve read here—both were just large patches, red and slightly raised, with no blisters to speak of. At least yet. The sea salt spray was used yesterday and I noticed the itching this morning, with the rash forming obviously by this afternoon and evening.

      Thanks so much for your thorough reply! I was able to schedule with the local pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac but we have to wait 3 months to see her.

      Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H".

      Welcome to the forum, allis! By "skin response to gluten products" are you saying you develop a rash when you use lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. that contain gluten? One of the classical symptoms of celiac disease is a skin rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis or "dermatitis herpetiformis" for short. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. It has a distinct appearance. It has little blisters or pustules in the bumps. Does this sound like what you experience? Is so, it might be possible to get a punch biopsy done when you are having an outbreak. This would be an alternative to eating gluten. If your skin biopsy was positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you could be diagnosed with celiac disease on that basis alone. Apart from that, I know of no other way to get a diagnosis apart from returning to eating gluten for a period of weeks.
