7-Layer Burrito

7-Layer Burrito

The 7-Layer Burrito is a large, meatless burrito filled with tomatoes, re-fried beans, seasoned rice, three-cheese blend, low-fat sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce in a flour tortilla. The burrito was introduced to Taco Bell customers in the United States in 1993 for vegetarian customers. The original introductory price was 0.99 cents at most locations.

It was discontinued on August 13, 2020 in an effort to streamline the menu to make ordering faster and easier during the current pandemic. However, a customized bean burrito with the same ingredients is still available.

Controversy

7-Layer enthusiasts are divided on the question of whether the tortilla counts as one of the seven layers. However, given that there are seven distinct layers within the burrito, excluding the tortilla, there appears to be a rough consensus that the tortilla is not itself a layer.
