Everything on Taco Bell’s menu is customizable.

First things first. While the fast-food chain has a growing number of vegan and vegetarian options, everything on Taco Bell’s menu is customizable. For example, if something has meat, you can swap that out for refried pinto beans or black beans — both vegan proteins — to make it vegetarian.
You can make any vegetarian item vegan by asking for it "fresco style," which replaces any cheese, creamy sauces, sour cream and/or guacamole with pico de gallo.
The options are endless.

Nationwide, Taco Bell has 13 American Vegetarian Association (AVA)-certified menu items along with 38 certified vegetarian and vegan ingredients that can be customized more than eight million ways, the chain says.

Taco Bell
Taco Bell recently began testing its first-ever dedicated in-store vegetarian menu featuring only AVA-certified vegetarian products. The test is being run in locations in Dallas, Texas.
This menu features the classic 7-Layer Burrito — layers upon layers of veggies tucked into a burrito — in addition to two brand-new items: the Vegetarian Crunchwrap Supreme, a twist on the classic menu item elevated with black beans, and the Vegetarian Quesarito, a saucy, quesadilla-esque burrito packed with black beans.
