Del Taco’s Bean & Cheese Burrito with green sauce and El Pollo Loco’s Original BRC Burrito are both bean-containing named orders. They are not identical recipes or portions. Their fiber and protein figures are useful precisely because the serving definitions stay attached.
Read each full order
Del Taco lists 500 kcal, 24 g protein, 80 g carbs, 10 g fat, 15 g fiber and 1,360 mg sodium for 280 g. Original BRC lists 410 kcal, 13 g protein, 63 g carbs, 11 g fat, 4 g fiber and 1,020 mg sodium for the published 7.6 oz serving.
The Del Taco entry has 11 g more listed protein and 11 g more fiber. It also has 90 more kcal and 340 mg more sodium. The differences cannot identify what a spoonful of beans contributes because cheese, rice, tortilla and their amounts may differ between recipes.
Do not make a classification from the name
Bean-containing does not independently prove vegan status, dairy absence or allergen safety. The named cheese ingredient is one reason to read ingredient information, but this nutrient table is not an allergen certification for either order.
A practical comparison
If fiber is your chosen priority, these exact rows point to different amounts. If the planned calorie ceiling matters more, compare that line as well. This is a two-order decision, not a ranking of all bean burritos or restaurant markets. Drinks, sides and unrecorded modifications remain separate.
