I just got a location near me and I’m curious about your thoughts. I currently get the bean burrito and fiesta veggie burrito as they’re cheap and vegetarian. What items do you like making or hate making? Any recommendations?

Not a taco bell employee but a fellow vegetarian who loves tb. My favorite is a crunchwrap with refried beans instead of meat and their spicy potato soft tacos! Also a chalupa with black beans instead of meat.

You can sub anything with meat for beans! I've never been given a hard time but for all I know they completely hate me lol.

You can ask for "fresco style" and they'll sub any dairy for diced tomatoes to make it vegan.

    I do the crunch wrap with beans instead of meat and I'm not a vegetarian by any stretch, is just so much better that way IMO. The spicy potato taco is also one of my favorites.

    When I worked there, I absolutely hated when people would come in and order hard tacos and sub the beef for beans. The little trowel we had to use for the beans wasn't designed with the hard shells in mind. We would either break the shell trying to get the beans in, or burn our hands when the hot beans inevitably fell out.

    Wow, people do that? I feel as if beans would either soften the shell to breaking point or otherwise just tumble everywhere with their roundish shape

    Taco Bell's refried beans are a paste. I do not think they would soften the shell any more than the meat.

    I'm convinced that, around where I live, they give up on putting beans in whatever I order and just feed me the "we're out of beans" excuse. Maybe they really are out, but I have received beef in items I ordered with beans so often and at so many different locations and times that I think they just don't care to do it.
