Your meat-averse friends will be out of excuses to avoid any road trips to Taco Bell in 2019, as the Tex-Mex inspired chain has announced that they’ll be testing a “dedicated vegetarian” menu (with vegan options) across the country this year.
On Jan. 9, reps for the Yum! Brands-owned chained announced the news via press release, which has since been widely celebrated by Bell lovers on Twitter.
The Vegan Crunchwrap Supreme will be joined by more meatless dishes on Taco Bell’s menu in 2019, thanks to a new vegetarian campaign.
