Commercial taquitos pose a triple risk of purines, fructose, and calories; homemade versions are safer.
Good
A homemade baked taquito with a corn tortilla and lean meat is moderate in purines and avoids added fructose, making it an occasional acceptable choice.
Bad
Many frozen taquitos contain high-fructose corn syrup and are deep-fried, combining purines, hidden fructose, and excess calories that can trigger flares and hinder weight management.
