Taco Bell may always be associated with neon-colored beverages and big, beefy burritos. But quietly, the fast food chain has established a second identity as a haven for vegetarians and vegans. As of 2020, the bean burrito was the company’s number two biggest seller.
Today, the company is making two big announcements to support vegetarians and plant-based eaters. First, it’s permanently bringing back its popular potato bites, which were taken off the menu as COVID-19 struck, on March 11. Second, it’s launching a partnership with Beyond Meat to release a new plant protein within the coming year.

Why does no one make a decent salsa verse, unless it is fresh?
A lot of Indians (dots, not feathers) will eat at Taco Bell when traveling ‘cuz of the veggie aspect. There are not that many meatless choices when on the road.
The world of chorizo is wide, a good fresh ground one is great.
I make my own now—freshly ground pork/beef/chicken thighs, spices and vinegar. Let it marinate overnight and cook with onions and diced potatoes for breakfast.
The stuff they sell in grocery stores is crap
Yo tengo el crappa dond esta el bano?
si si senior!
Their tacos always tasted like dog food.
Once again, vegans keep wanting more and more of their food to taste like meat. Half don't want to admit pork 'n beans contain real pork.
Look around to the countries with the spiciest foods. Usually their climate is hot which means meat spoils quicker so they use spice to cover up the rot.
Ewwwww... that didn’t help
I first developed a taste for chorizo while traveling in Spain. The three of us could eat cheap with a "flauta de pan" (big french type baguette), a half kilo of chorizo, cheese and a bottle of good Spanish red.
Later in the States I found that the chorizo sold here is Mexican chorizo, which is very greasy and nowhere as tasty as the Spanish chorizo.
Haven for vegetarians? Remember when Taco Bell got busted using animal feed-grade corn in its taco shells? Don’t think they’d be my first option if I was vegetarian.
This is all about conditioning people to accept a non-meat diet. The EU is already coming out saying people need to eat mealworms and other insects. You can bet the very elites pushing this won’t be eating it themselves.
Chorizo on its own isn’t that great, but mix it with refried beans and you can’t go wrong.
Yes sir
Real fresh ground chorizo is delicious
My bank drive thru is right next to Taco Bell’s drive thru. Taco Bell’s drive through is ALWAYS packed! Regardless of time of day.
The COVID has done nothing to hurt their business, in fact I would bet it has helped it. Who needs eat in dining?
If I bought stock, I would have bought Taco Bell stock at the beginning of the pandemic.
We call it taco hell...
But I must admit, I’m not a fast food addict however if I’m on the road and I’m hungry a Taco Bell bean burrito with no onions is the perfect road food for me.
Pretty soon meatless will be the only option.
For some reason, this pin from Pinterest cracked me up. I think it triggered a "Been there, done that" memory from some years ago. (Haven't been back.)
