When diners swipe on the menu, they’ll get access to all of Taco Bell’s non-meat options, nearly 50 of which are certified by the American Vegetarian Association. Many of the options were not previously been included on Taco Bell’s standard menu either, like the Black Bean Chalupa Supreme, Layered Vegetarian Burrito and Spicy Potato Soft Taco.
