The Vegan Crunchwrap at Taco Bell is a popular menu item that caters to those following a vegan diet. It is a vegan-friendly version of the classic Crunchwrap Supreme, which typically contains meat and dairy. Here’s a general guide on how to order a vegan Crunchwrap at Taco Bell:
- Request a vegan modification: Start by informing the Taco Bell staff that you’d like to order a vegan Crunchwrap. Ask them to modify the ingredients to make it vegan-friendly.
- Replace the meat: Instead of the regular meat filling, ask for a substitution with a vegan protein option. Taco Bell offers seasoned black beans or their vegetarian-friendly protein option called “pintos and cheese” (ask for it without the cheese).
- Skip the cheese and sour cream: Let the staff know that you want your Crunchwrap to be dairy-free, so they can omit the cheese and sour cream from the order.
- Load up on veggies: Taco Bell provides a variety of fresh vegetables. Ask for extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and any other vegan-friendly toppings available. You can also add guacamole for a creamy and delicious addition.
- Opt for a vegan sauce: Taco Bell has several vegan sauce options, such as the mild, hot, or fire sauce. Feel free to choose your preferred spicy condiment to enhance the flavor.
- Double-check ingredients: It’s always a good idea to double-check with the staff to ensure that all the ingredients used in the Crunchwrap are vegan and there is no cross-contamination with non-vegan items during the preparation process.
Remember, specific menu options and ingredients may vary depending on the location and any recent updates to Taco Bell’s menu. It’s advisable to check with the staff or Taco Bell’s website for the most up-to-date information on their vegan offerings.

- Lay out a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Place a spoonful of cooked rice in the center and spread it out, leaving a border around the edges.
- Layer on the cooked black beans, vegan ground meat substitute, vegan cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
- Spread a thin layer of vegan sour cream on another flour tortilla and place it on top of the fillings, sour cream side down.
