The fast-food giant will be testing out a proprietary plant-based protein at its stores in Birmingham, Alabama for a limited time.

Fast food just got a lot more vegan-friendly! Taco Bell announced today that it is testing a new vegan meat alternative in its Birmingham stores. This is for a limited time only.

Taco Bell Adds More Vegan Options

Taco Bell is continuing to expand its vegan and vegetarian offerings. The brand’s new proprietary plant-based protein is the latest addition. The vegan meat alternative boasts soy and pea proteins and traditional Taco Bell seasoning and flavor.

You will find the vegan meat on the Taco Bell menu in two items. These include the Crispy Melt Taco and the Nachos BellGrande. But, customers can add the meat to any of the other menu items. The Crispy Melt Taco and the Nachos BellGrande both contain dairy, so those looking for a vegan option should consider trying the meat in a different menu item, such as a regular taco or burrito sans dairy.

The new vegan meat at Taco Bell is certified vegan by the American Vegetarian Association (AVA). It is currently only available in select stores in the Birmingham, Alabama area for a limited time.
