I'm confident you can construct an unhealthy taco, but is there anything inherently wrong with tacos? Fundamentally it's just a bit of meat, veggies and cheese. The tortilla is grain and thus arguably not great, but tortillas are pretty small compared to the average sandwich bread.

Sandwich bread is mostly air, tortillas are smaller, but they seem to contain a lot more substance.
Tortillas are made from nixtamal, which has some nutritional improvements over raw/heat-only corn.
