Why might a customer choose a fresco style burrito?

• A. To shorten prep time.
• B. To increase cheese content.
• C. To reduce calories and fat and add a fresh pico de gallo topping.
• D. To make it spicier.

Answer: (C)

Fresco style focuses on making the burrito lighter by swapping heavier dairy ingredients for a fresh topping. When you order a fresco burrito, cheese (and often sour cream) is replaced with pico de gallo, which lowers calories and fat while adding the bright, crunchy texture of fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and sometimes jalapeño. This combination gives a lighter, crisper flavor profile without sacrificing the enjoyable freshness of the dish. It’s not primarily about shortening prep time or increasing cheese, and the spiciness depends on the pico de gallo, not the intended purpose of the option.
