Your feedback
Good for you

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 for you

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.
