Gordita/Sope Shell

Safe

Plain shells are low in purines and safe; focus on avoiding high-purine fillings and deep-frying.

Good

The corn masa shell is very low in purines and contains no high-fructose corn syrup, making it a safe carb choice for gout when baked or griddled.

Bad

Deep-fried versions add inflammatory fats, and typical fillings like carnitas or chorizo are high in animal purines that can trigger flares.
