Ok, now that we've covered the condiments, let’s talk about what you can order from the breakfast menu.
1. Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito
The first keto breakfast option at Taco Bell is the cheesy toasted breakfast burrito. It comes withsausage crumbles or bacon, egg, and nacho cheese sauce.
And all you have to do to make it keto is order it withno tortilla shell.Ordering it this way will make this cheesy option come out to just3 net carbs!
If you want to make it even lower in carbs, you can ask for no cheese sauce and make my 0 net carb cheese sauceinstead.
By the way, I love pairing this keto breakfast order with some keto yogurt. I usually eat the yogurt almost like a dessert after I have the burrito, and it totally hits the spot every time! You get a little savory followed by a little sweet, gah it's good.
2. Grande Toasted Breakfast Burrito
Another keto Taco Bell option for breakfast is the grande toasted breakfast burrito. It comes withsausage crumbles or bacon, a three cheese blend, egg, and tomatoes.
When you order it, just ask forno tortilla shellandno potatoes.
Ordering it without the shell and potatoes will make this breakfast option come out to just2 net carbs!

Taco Bell Keto Dollar Menu
So if you’re on abudget, there are some awesome keto options I found on thedollar menuthatwill not disappoint!
4. The Chicken Chipotle Melt
The first one I want to talk about is theChicken Chipotle Melt. You’ll, of course, want to order thiswithout the tortilla. So basically, what you end up with is a good portion ofchicken & cheese, and a tiny bit of sauce.
What I loved about this was that nicesmoky flavorthat’s in the chicken. It pairs super well with the richness from thecheese.
And at just$1, andless than 1 net carbper serving, you can probablyget two or threeof these for a whole keto lunch!
5. The Beef Burrito
Honestly, this one was incrediblysatisfying! The ground beef iswell seasoned, and thecheese sauce is lovely too.You can, of course, get this for$1, and it comes out to3 net carbs per serving.Oh, and when you order this, make sure to ask for no tortilla, no jalapeño sauce, andno rice!
KETO TACO BELL CHICKEN OPTIONS
Now let’s get into thechickenoptions! I tried a lot of pretty awesome low carb keto-friendly chicken menu items at Taco Bell. Here's what I got.
6. Chicken Burrito Supreme
First up is theChicken Burrito Supremewithno tortillaandno beans.
I got this one for$4.50,and it has a total of4 net carbs.
Like I’ve said, this doesn’t have any tortilla or beans, so it essentially becomes kind of achicken burrito bowl. How excellent does that sound?!
The chicken istender, juicy,andnicely charred. Also, you get a pretty good portion of it per order and it goes well with the red sauce. I definitely recommend this for aquick keto lunch under 5 dollars!
7. Supreme Chicken Soft Taco
Next up is theSoft Taco Supreme Chicken!
Except you’ll be ordering itwithout the soft taco, so it’s more like asupreme chicken, lol.
So, this costs $2.89and has4 net carbs.
To be a hundred percent honest with you, I prefer thesteak taco in terms of value. I just feel like you don’t get as much chicken for the same price. But more on the steak taco in a bit! That said, the Supreme Chicken Soft Taco is a decent keto Taco Bell option. Especially if you like chicken.
8. Fresco Chicken Taco
When you orderwithout the tortilla, thefresco chicken bowlonly has2 net carbs.
Not to mention, this keto Taco Bell menu item costs just $2.39! And right off the bat, you'll notice this option has a bigger portionof chicken than the soft taco supreme.
I love how the big chunks of chicken & delicious sauce pair together in this taco bowl. That said, for the best tasting Fresco Chicken add some Fire Sauceto it.
It's what I like to do, and it turns out pretty great.
As a side note, the Fire Sauce isn’t as hot as the Diablo Sauce and it’s got a lotmore flavorthough it does add 1 net carb – just something you might want to consider when picking out a hot sauce!
9. Grilled Chicken Power Bowl
ThisGrilled Chicken Power Bowlis definitely one of thebest values for your money at Taco Bell!
It’s gotguacamole,pico de gallo, tons oftender chicken,sour cream,avocado ranch dressing, and lots of low carblettuce. The whole thing is just5 net carbsand only comes out to$5.19– afantastic pricewhen you compare it to something similar at Chipotle.
Oh, and this was practicallydouble the sizeof the other containers. Also, it’s incredibly filling,so you could probably maketwo meals out of one order. I mean, it was a ton of food for me, and I'm a BIG GUY!
Of course, you’ll want to get this with no riceandno beans. And, for some added flavor, add somehot sauce!
KETO TACO BELL BEEF OPTIONS
Of course, no Taco Bell keto menu list would be complete without beef! And there are a few really solid options to choose from. So let's jump into them!
10. Steak Burrito Supreme
The pro-tip for this menu item is to get it withno tortillaandno beans– so you get a littlesteak salad bowl instead.
Ordering the Steak Burrito Supreme this way comes out to$4.50– so just under $5 – and it’s got5 net carbs. Just like the chicken burrito bowl, I totally enjoyed this. The steak isjuicy & tenderand goes well with thered sauceandvegetables! Ihighly recommend it if you like steak.
11. Grilled Steak Taco
When you order the Grilled Steak Taco without the tortilla, it's only about 3 net carbs.
Not to mention, it costs just$2.89! Honestly, compared to the steak burrito supreme, this has about the same amount of steak!
So, I think you get more "bang-for-your-buck" with this option. Plus, it’s a littlemore flavorful! At least I think so. I just love the combination of the charred steakand thecheese on this one.Seriously, this grilled steak taco isone of my favorites from this taste test! And, honestly, every keto Taco Bell order should have a grilled steak taco as part of the order. It's a menu item not to be missed. You can thank me later.
12. Fresco Beef Taco
Okay, so we’ve talked about theFresco Chicken Taco– now let’s talk about thebeef version! As always, get thiswithout the tortilla. It costs$1.89, so it’scheaperthan the chicken option! And the whole thing is just2 net carbs. But if you want my opinion, I'd go with the fresco chicken over this one in terms of taste.
Also, I recommend adding some of the Taco Bell Hot Sauce togive the fresco beef some more flavor. On its own, it's just not flav
So the main takeaway here is that theTaco Bell Hot Saucecan probably makeanyketo menu itemsuper delicious.
