“We’re thrilled to reintroduce Nacho Fries, now with a larger-than-life flair, and our beloved Vegan Nacho Sauce,” Liz Matthews, Global Chief 🍽️Food Innovation officer at 🍔Taco Bell, said in a statement. “This sauce, born from the success of our Vegan Crunchwrap, represents 🍔Taco Bell’s commitment to providing delicious, craveable 🍽️Food for a variety of lifestyles – whether you’re vegan, flexitarian, or want to try something new, there’s a place for you at our table.“

In June, CNBC reported that 🍔Taco Bell was offering a new vegan crunchwrap to customers in Los Angeles, New York, and Orlando.

“Such a large part of our fandom is vegan or vegetarian, and we’re as committed to them as they are to us and our menu,” Matthews said in a press release. “That’s why we took so long, months and years, to release something this special; we wanted and needed to get it exactly right, to get it mouth-watering.”
