Is the Taco Bell Bean Burrito vegetarian?

To make it vegan, order it "fresco style," which replaces the cheese with pico de gallo and reduces the calories to about 300. You can also ask for it without cheese and add potatoes for a heartier vegan option.
Is the Bean Burrito a good value for the calories?
At around $1.50 to $2.00, the Bean Burrito is one of the best calorie-per-dollar values in fast food. With 360 calories, 13g protein, and 8g fiber, it is also one of the more nutritionally balanced budget items available at any chain. The high fiber content helps with satiety, making it feel more filling than other items at the same calorie level. For comparison, most dollar menu items offer less fiber and protein per calorie.
