Fresco Style: Your Vegan BFF at Taco Bell
This magical phrase, "Fresco Style," is the key to unlocking a surprisingly large portion of the Taco Bell menu for vegans. Fresco style basically means "hold the dairy!" Say goodbye to cheese, sour cream, and mayo-laden sauces. In their place, you get a fiesta of fresh diced tomatoes, adding a welcome burst of flavor and texture.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Fresco-fy these items for a vegan feast:
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
- Crunchy or Soft Tacos: Black beans or refried beans are your protein pals here. Add some guac for an extra creamy (and delicious) touch.
- Cheesy Bean & Rice Burrito: Hold the cheese, hello Fresco style! This one's a classic for a reason.
- Veggie Power Menu Bowl: This bowl is basically begging for Fresco style treatment. Just ditch the cheese and sour cream, and you're good to go.
Pro-tip: Don't be afraid to get creative! Sub in potato bites for extra crunch, or add a sprinkle of Fiesta Strips for a flavor fiesta.
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
