Taco Bell teamed up with Mayor Mick Cornett.
The fast food restaurant offers nine items with nine grams of fat with what's known as the "Official Menu of the Mayor's Challenge."
On Tuesday, Taco Bell is giving away free fresco crunchy tacos to metro residents as part of a promise. The mayor says it's been a great partnership.
Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett says, "They got on board really early and we helped them promote those items hoping people would take advantage of it."
He goes on to say, "They said when you get 100,000 pounds, we have a special prize for everybody in Oklahoma City and sure enough here it is. Everybody in Oklahoma City gets a free fresco taco."
There is a limit on those fresco crunchy tacos, just one per customer.
The mayor is also taking part in the challenge. So far, he's lost 42 pounds.
