Taco Bell Unveils Vegetarian Black Bean Toasted Cheddar Chalupa

Last year, Taco Bell debuted their Toasted Cheddar Chalupa. The menu item featured all the staples of a classic chalupa: lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream, and customers’ choice of proteins along with a chalupa taco shell that was toasted with aged cheddar. 

The golden bells of comfort food and convenience have announced that the popular menu item will return to menus this fall and with it a new variation. 

Joining the return of the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa will be a vegetarian alternative to the popular menu item: The Black Bean Toasted Cheddar Chalupa. 

Certified vegetarian by the American Vegetarian Association, the chalupa features Taco Bell’s signature black beans in place of meat. The new item will join the Veggie Cravings menu, which boasts 13 existing vegetarian menu items.

Man, they already had me at anything toasted with cheddar. 

You can find the Toasted Cheddar Chalupas now at participating Taco Bell locations nationwide.
