Taco Bell is usually at the forefront of menu innovation in the fast food game, whether it comes to brand new items or collaborations with other notable names in the industry. That train of innovation is running full speed, further fueled by a new proprietary plant-based protein that's being tested exclusively in Birmingham, Alabama.
Starting today, Taco Bell fans in Birmingham will be able to try Taco Bell's new proprietary plant-based protein — certified vegan by the American Vegetarian Association — featured in the new Crispy Melt Taco. The Crispy Melt Taco features a freshly fried white corn shell tortilla with cheesy layers of shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey pepper jack cheeses, plus warm nacho cheese sauce adding extra indulgence.
The proprietary plant-based protein will also be featured in Nachos BellGrande. But another exciting option for fans is the ability to customize any menu item by adding the plant-based protein to it. In the mood for a Crunchwrap Supreme with plant-based protein? Go ahead and treat yourself, friends.
The product test is running for a limited time only in Birmingham, Alabama through mid-October, while supplies last.
