What oil does Fuego Tortilla Grill fry in?
Fuego Tortilla Grill most likely cooks with soybean and canola oil, but the chain has not confirmed it.
In detail: Deep-fries french fries, hand-breaded fried chicken, fried mushrooms, fried avocado, and fried shrimp/pollock; no official Fuego source (no nutrition/allergen page on their site, no public FDD) names the actual fryer oil, so a standard soybean/canola blend is assumed as the industry default, not confirmed.

Build my orderWhy the frying oil matters
Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Fuego Tortilla Grill report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
