Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito

The Beefy Melt Burrito was a staple of Taco Bell’s Cravings Value Menu, known for being a high-value, "cheesy and crunchy" option.

Is it still available?

As of 2024, the original Beefy Melt Burrito was officially discontinued in the United States to make room for a menu refresh. However, it was essentially rebranded and upgraded:

The Replacement: It has been replaced by the Cheesy Double Beef Burrito.

The Difference: The new version contains double the portion of seasoned beef compared to the original, though it usually costs about $1.00 more (typically priced around $2.79 depending on your location).

International Availability: In some regions like the UK and Ireland, the "Beefy Melt Burrito" name is still used on the standard menu.

Ingredients & Nutrition

If you are looking to recreate it or want to know what was inside, the build consists of:

Seasoned Beef: Taco Bell’s signature ground beef.

Seasoned Rice: Fluffy, mildly spiced Mexican-style rice.

Nacho Cheese Sauce: Warm, gooey cheese sauce.

Three-Cheese Blend: A mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack.

Reduced-Fat Sour Cream: For a cool, creamy finish.

Fiesta Strips: Red-colored crunchy corn tortilla strips (this provides the signature "melt" texture).

Flour Tortilla: A warm, large flour wrap.

How to "Hack" It

Since the Cheesy Double Beef Burrito uses the exact same ingredients, you can simply order that to get the same flavor profile. If you find it too meaty, you can customize it in the Taco Bell app to "Easy Beef" to bring it closer to the original $2.00 version.
