What’s in a Taco Bell Bean Burrito?

• Refried beans, the main filling
• Red sauce, a mild, tangy chili sauce
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Diced onions
• Soft flour tortilla

That’s it. With only four fillings, the Bean Burrito is easy to customize. Many fans add rice, potatoes or a sauce to make it their own.

Is the Bean Burrito a Bean and Cheese Burrito?

Yes. Taco Bell doesn’t sell an item called a “bean and cheese burrito,” but its Bean Burrito already has cheddar cheese inside. If you want more cheese, add extra cheese or nacho cheese sauce in the app.

Is the Taco Bell Bean Burrito Healthy?

It’s one of the better picks at Taco Bell. Here’s why:

• Lowest-calorie burrito: at 360 calories, it has fewer calories than any other burrito in this guide.
• Beans: the refried beans add fiber and plant protein.
• Meat-free: it’s vegetarian.

Like most fast food, it’s fairly high in sodium. To lower the calories a little, order it Fresco style, which removes the cheese and adds diced tomatoes. For fat, carbs and sodium, use the nutrition calculator in the Taco Bell app. For calories across the menu, see our Taco Bell nutrition guide.

How to Order a Vegan Bean Burrito

The Bean Burrito is one of the easiest vegan-friendly orders at Taco Bell:

1. Order a Bean Burrito.
2. Ask for it Fresco style, or remove the cheese.
3. Optional: add guacamole, potatoes or seasoned rice.

Food can still touch dairy or meat in Taco Bell’s kitchens. If you avoid animal products strictly, keep that in mind.

Does Taco Bell Have a Black Bean Burrito?

Not as a plain burrito in this guide’s menu data. Here are your options:

• Swap the beans: order a Bean Burrito and change the refried beans to black beans in the app.
• Black Bean Grilled Cheese Burrito ($5.39, 680 Cal): a full vegetarian burrito with black beans and a grilled cheese crust.

Best Ways to Order a Bean Burrito

• Add rice: add seasoned rice for a heartier burrito. Each add-on costs a small upcharge in the app.
• Add potatoes: add potatoes for a cheap vegetarian potato burrito.
• Add beef: add seasoned beef if you want meat.
• Grill it: ask for it grilled in the app for a toasty tortilla.
• Add heat: add jalapeños or Fire sauce.

If you mainly want beans and rice, the $1.49 Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito may cost less than a Bean Burrito with add-ons.
