After testing items in select markets, Taco Bell will be launching a new meat-free menu.

Per Delish, the new vegetarian options will be available at Taco Bell locations nationwide beginning September 12.

Taco Bell's new meat-free menu will feature 13 items, including a Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme, 7-Layer Burrito, Black Bean Quesarito and a regular Beach Burrito. The new menu items have also been certified by the American Vegetarian Association.

In a statement on the new menu items, Taco Bell Global Chief Food Innovation Officier Liz Matthews said, "At Taco Bell, we believe that vegetarian food shouldn’t be a compromise; it shouldn’t be limited to one item, and it shouldn’t be just for vegetarians."

While Taco Bell has had vegetarian items on their menu for a number of years, the addition of these new meat-free versions of some of their most popular offerings, like the Crunchwrap Supreme, will certainly be a welcome option for those looking for more meatless options.
