By state
The median at the restaurants read in each state. Pick a state at the top of the board and every price on this site prints that state's figure.
What Taco Bell says it is
Taco Bell’s own description on the ordering menu: “Slow-simmered black beans.”
The two calorie figures
For Black Beans the two figures match: both print 50 calories. The unrounded figure behind the record is 50.9, which the nutrition menu rounds to 50 the way a menu board rounds, to the nearest 10 above 50 calories.
Where it was listed
Black Beans was listed at 447 of the 452 restaurants read, in 50 states and DC on 19 September 2026. That makes it a core item: on nine in ten of the restaurant menus read or more.
The cheapest state median on the read date was Hawaii at $0.79, the dearest New York at $2.84. A state median stands on ten restaurants at most, so a single expensive or cheap restaurant moves it; the national range is the safer figure. Pick a state on the board or on the prices by state page and the ticket on every page prices its lines at that state’s medians beside the national range.
What the price buys
Among the eleven priced sides & sweets on the board, Black Beans is the 5th cheapest by median price. The section median is $2.19, so it is right at the middle. At the median price it costs $4.38 per 100 calories and $7.30 per 10 g of protein.
The record against a day
Against a 2,000 calorie day, Black Beans is 2 percent of the calories and 6 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium limit the FDA uses for the daily value. Protein runs 3 g, 6 g per 100 calories.
For sodium it sits below the Sides & Sweets median of 445 mg.
Allergens and certification
The brand’s own tool lists Black Beans as free of eggs, fish, gluten, milk, MSG, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat. Its record carries no allergen table, so there is no warning to print. The tool’s own caution: “While a particular ingredient may not contain one of these allergens, our products may be prepared on the same equipment and in the same kitchen area as those that do.” Gluten is the special case: “Taco Bell does not claim “gluten-free” for any ingredients or menu items.” A free mark for gluten here is the tool’s word about ingredients, never a claim by this site.
Every component (Black Beans) is tagged certified vegan in the ingredient statement, and the ordering menu carries the American Vegetarian Association mark, so the vegan menu on this site lists it. The guide’s note on what the certification covers: “Please note that in some restaurants we may use the same frying oil to prepare menu items that could contain meat.”

The option calories are the ordering menu’s own figures for the option, printed as it prints them; a swapped build is not a nutrition record, so the panel on this page stays the item as published. Option prices were read at five of the restaurants and are printed with that count, never as a national figure.
