I've got terrible digestive problems myself and Taco Bell is something that doesn't set me off, so I'll never get it. It's not spicy, it's not super greasy.... But I guess I tend to get the less un-food-like options (such as a regular bean burrito, which has nothing particularly bad in it unless you're sensitive to beans).

Gotcha. Their standard ground beef is maybe a 3 or 4/10 on the grease scale, with the steak notching up to maybe a 7.

The spices aren't so much hot, really. They don't add much that carries a lot of capsaicin afaik. But they do use chili powder and cumin in there, both of which are hit-or-miss in terms of being IBS triggers. I can handle both fine, but I know folks that can't. It's the grease that gets me, because I can use similar spices at home with no issues.

Then again, not every store is the same grease level. The one in my town is greasy as hell, to the point that the wrappers around the tacos are falling apart sometimes. But the one in the nearest city is nowhere near as bad.
