You Can Make Anything At Taco Bell Vegetarian. Here's How - Tasting Table

"Of all the great American fast food chains, Taco Bell is by far the most vegetarian-friendly. Knowing most barely offer a single option aside from salad and fries (with McDonald's being the exception), you may think that's not saying much. While you are right, Taco Bell goes above and beyond all expectations at the drive-thru by providing the possibility of making anything on its menu vegetarian, or even vegan."

"While Taco Bell does disclose that many of its menu items are prepared in the same frying oil - meaning it cannot avoid cross-contamination - the restaurant does provide plenty of vegetarian options, and that's a lot more than other fast food chains can say. Not only that, but its alternative of black beans and potatoes for meat means that those options are also equally as substantial and filling, too."

"From the Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme to the Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Potato, and from the Veggie Mexican Pizza to the Breakfast Quesadilla without the meat, Taco Bell caters to vegetarians no matter the time or the place. The best part? They won't even upcharge you for it. Taco Bell has long offered vegetarian options, with more than 30 different vegetarian-friendly ingredients and 25 vegetarian items on its menu since 2017."

Taco Bell offers extensive vegetarian and vegan options by allowing substitutions of black beans, refried beans, or potatoes for meat across its menu. The chain lists more than 30 vegetarian-friendly ingredients and has offered 25 vegetarian menu items since 2017. Many items share frying oil, creating potential cross-contamination, but the brand still provides substantial, filling meat alternatives without upcharge. Popular vegetarian choices include the Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme, Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Potato, Veggie Mexican Pizza, and Breakfast Quesadilla without meat. In June 2023 Taco Bell launched a vegan Crunchwrap Supreme in select cities featuring seasoned plant-based beef and vegan sauces.
