Taco Bell Now Has a Vegetarian Menu
Taco Bell now has a vegetarian menu: Taco Bell will feature a vegetarian section on its recently redesigned menu, which also includes two new items. Starting this Thursday, the fast-food chain will offer two new vegetarian items: a Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme and a Black Bean Quesarito. In addition, they continue their other two existing vegetarian options, which will be prominently displayed in a new menu called “Vegetarian Favorites.”
As customers become more health-conscious, the changes make it easier for vegetarians to see their options, the Yum Brands-owned company previously explained. The nationwide expansion in the US of the new menu items to Taco Bell’s 7,000 restaurants in the country follows a trial run earlier this year. They are also planning a new ad campaign to promote the new section.
In total, there are more than a dozen vegetarian items on the Taco Bell menu. They will feature a new green emblem showing the American Vegetarian Association’s Taco Bell certification. It became the first and only fast food service chain to receive certification in 2015.

Taco Bell emphasized that non-vegetarian items can be made vegetarian by substituting meat for beans. The chain said its menu items “can be customized in more than 8 million ways” to fit a vegetarian diet.
Notably absent from the menu are alternative meat products from Impossible or Beyond Meat. KFC, which is also owned by Yum Brands, tested a new plant-based chicken from Beyond Meat in Georgia.
Plant-based meat alternatives have become popular in supermarkets and restaurants around the world, as people seek healthy, organic foods to eat. Taco Bell said in a statement that it plans to “further innovate in this growing space.”
Other companies are trying to cash in on diet-based resolutions. Chipotle launched “Lifestyle Bowls,” a new collection of foods that fit Paleo, Keto and Whole30 diets.
Burger King began selling the Impossible Whopper, featuring a “meatless meat,” nationwide in August. Perhaps invading Taco Bell territory, Burger King is also selling dollar tacos.
