Top Ways to Veganize Taco Bell Faves

OK, I’ll admit it: I was once a TBell addict. When I went vegan, I thought for sure that I could never indulge in my favorite not-so-healthy but oh-so-tasty fast-food fave, but I was wrong! Since Taco Bell’s beans, potatoes, tortillas, guacamole and rice are all vegan on their own, my go-to dishes at Taco Bell, with just a few tweaks, could be made totally animal-free. Here’s how ya do it:

Menu item: Taco Salad
How to order it: Substitute beans for beef (they don’t charge for this, woo!), remove the sour cream and cheese, and add rice, potatoes, guacamole, and red sauce.

Menu Item: Bean Burrito
How to order it: No cheese and add potatoes and rice. Try guacamole on the side. Or, you can say, “Fresco Style,” which means they remove the cheese and sauce and replace it with pico de gallo—yum!

Menu Item: Seven-Layer Burrito
How to order it: Remove the sour cream and cheese, and add potatoes and pico de gallo. Add red sauce for a spicy kick.

Menu Item: Mexican Pizza
How to order it: OK, this one can be a bit trickier. Substitute beef for beans and remove the cheese. You can add guac to the top if you want or take this baby home and nuke it with some Daiya on top (I’ve done this, and it’s amazing!). And I’ll let you in on a little tip: I just might be posting a recipe next week that will do the trick.

And don’t forget: Taco Bell’s cinnamon twists are accidentally vegan, so you can have dessert on the cheap, too!

Now, just a friendly tip here: Don’t go overboard on the TBell. Although these things are tasty, they’re not the healthiest, so make sure you kick it old school and cook some dinners yourself once in a while. Got it? If you’re running low on cash, taking a road trip, or in a pinch, keep these tips in mind and indulge!

Woo! Did you know Taco Bell was a secret vegan paradise?
