Taco Bell has a surprisingly great selection of vegan foods - these are the best options
6. Bean Burrito: To make the bean burrito vegan, Taco Bell recommends on its website to order it Fresco, which replaces all dairy with pico de gallo.
The burrito was underwhelming. It had refried beans and a tiny bit of pico, and it was falling apart because of how little was in it. It was definitely not substantial enough to be a meal, and the texture wasn't very good.
5. Crunchy Taco: I ordered the Crunchy Taco Fresco, and replaced the seasoned beef with black beans. It looked really promising.
The taco wasn't bad, but it was about 90% lettuce. There were hardly any beans added, and just a tiny amount of pico was added on top. It was very plain and unsatisfying.
4. Seven-Layer Burrito: I ordered the Seven-Layer Burrito Fresco as well, and like the bean burrito, there wasn't a whole lot to it.
It seemed like it was just rice and lettuce. The beans, guacamole, and pico were either left out or all on the other side of the burrito. It probably would have been better if it had the other ingredients.
3. Crunchwrap Supreme: The Crunchwrap is vegan if you replace the beef with beans and order it Fresco.
Taco Bell added refried beans instead of black beans by mistake. It tasted really good, and it was definitely more flavorful than the crunchy taco was. It could have used more of each ingredient, though.
2. Spicy Tostada: The Spicy Tostada is vegan without the cheese and chipotle sauce. I had never had it before, and I wasn't sure what to expect.
I was surprised by how good it was. It was a lot more flavorful than everything else was, and it was actually pretty filling. It was definitely the best-tasting out of everything I tried.
1. Power Menu Burrito — Veggie: The veggie burrito from the Power Menu is vegan without cheese, sour cream, and avocado ranch sauce.
Of all the vegan options on the menu, this was definitely the most filling and flavorful. It had black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, and lettuce. The ingredients weren't too different from everything else, but there was a lot more of everything, so it was actually enough to be filling, and I was able to taste more than just the lettuce.
While it's great that Taco Bell offers so many vegan options and makes veganism more accessible, the Power Menu's burrito was the most filling and flavorful choice.
