How to Order Anything Vegan at Taco Bell in 2024

Taco Bell’s menu in 2024 has a lot of animal-friendly options—including Crunchwraps, burritos, and tacos—making the fast-food chain one of the best for vegans.

For decades, PETA has urged popular fast-food chains to offer more vegan options, and as a result, Taco Bell has frequently tested exciting new animal-friendly menu items. In addition, many of its standard options are super-craveable and easy to order without ingredients that harm cows, pigs, chickens, or other animals.

Crunchwraps, Burritos, and Tacos

Crunchwrap

The Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme can be made vegan by ordering it fresco style, which replaces the sour cream and nacho cheese sauce with pico de gallo.

In 2023, Taco Bell tested a Vegan Crunchwrap at locations in Hollywood, California; New York City; and Orlando, Florida. This item included vegan ground beef, Vegan Nacho Sauce, and dairy-free sour cream.

Veggie Burrito

While Taco Bell doesn’t currently offer a veggie burrito, you can order a bean burrito or a black bean burrito fresco style and add lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, rice, or potatoes.

Potato Taco

The Spicy Potato Soft Taco can be made vegan by requesting it without cheese and creamy chipotle sauce.

Crunchy or Soft Taco

Ask for beans instead of beef and say the magic words “fresco style.” Add guacamole to make the taco extra delicious.

Black Bean Chalupa Supreme

To make the Black Bean Chalupa Supreme vegan, simply ask that it be made fresco style, which removes the cheese and sour cream.

Veggie Bowl

Order it with no cheese, sour cream, or Avocado Ranch sauce to make it vegan, then add your favorite toppings like potatoes or crunchy Fiesta Strips. Complete the meal with a side of chips and guacamole.

FAQs About Vegan Options at Taco Bell

Does Taco Bell have vegan meat?

Taco Bell has offered vegan meat in a number of exciting tests. The Vegan Crunchwrap featured cow-free beef made from a proprietary blend of soy and pea protein inspired by the chain’s classic flavors. Taco Bell also tested vegan carne asada steak in collaboration with Beyond Meat and a meat-free Naked Chicken Chalupa shell. These options all received rave reviews, so we hope to see them back on the menu soon.

Does Taco Bell have vegan breakfast options?

As of 2024, Taco Bell’s hash brown is the only vegan option on its breakfast menu. 

Does Taco Bell still have vegan nacho cheese?

In 2023, Taco Bell tested a Vegan Nacho Sauce made with chickpeas and soy instead of cow’s milk. It was served with its seasoned Nacho Fries and was also featured in the Vegan Crunchwrap tested by the chain. Since then, it hasn’t returned to the menu. But customers loved it, so we hope to see it return soon!

Are Taco Bell’s Cinnabon Delights vegan?

No. Taco Bell’s Cinnabon Delights aren’t vegan because they contain animal-derived ingredients like cow’s milk and eggs. If you’re craving something sweet, opt for the Cinnamon Twists instead. This simple choice doesn’t support the exploitation of playful, loving cows and chickens.

Does Taco Bell have vegan tortillas?

Yes. Both the soft and crunchy tortillas at Taco Bell are vegan.

Is the chalupa shell vegan?

Yes. Taco Bell’s chalupa shell is certified vegan, as well as the Gordita Flatbread.

Is the Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco shell vegan?

No. The Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco shell contains milk and cheese. In the dirty dairy industry, cows are abused for their mammary secretions, instead of being treated with the respect they deserve.
