Taco Bell Is Adding A Plant-Based Taco To Its Menu
We've already learned that it's pretty easy to eat keto at Taco Bell. It's not as easy to choose what to eat at the taco chain if you happen to be vegetarian, that is, until now. Taco Bell has made a ground beef substitute that's made from oats, and apparently looks and tastes like the real thing.
Taco Bell is one of the few fast food chains that had not yet jumped on the plant-based meat bandwagon. While you can get an Impossible burger nearly everywhere else, there aren't as many options to choose from at Taco Bell. According to Nation's Restaurant News, that's going to change soon with an international roll out of this new plant-based meat.
The taco, appropriately named the "Oatrageous" Taco, was first tested in Finland, and has just made its debut as a permanent menu item in Spain, reported the outlet. A full European release is in the works for 2020.
This "meat" is made from pulled oats and legumes but is still seasoned with the same flavors as the actual ground beef, so it likely doesn't alter the taste of a taco very much.
The Oatrageous Taco isn't the only new product being made by Taco Bell. Nation's Restaurant News also wrote that a protein substitute made of sheep's milk is being made in Cyprus as a meatless option for the beloved Crunchwrap.
As of now, neither option is making its way to the United States just yet. Until then, try out Taco Bell's Vegetarian menu items to get your meatless taco fix.
