If something goes wrong
Black Beans cost more than Chili and have fewer calories
- Cause
- Taco Bell posts $2.59 with 50 Cal here and $1.00 with 60 Cal for Chili, both on the same page on the same date.
- Fix
- Take both as printed. Chili is the cheapest row the company posts anywhere and carries more calories than this side.
Black Beans portion seems small
- Cause
- 50 Cal is the smallest food figure Taco Bell publishes in this record. No weight or volume is given for the portion.
- Fix
- Order Black Beans and Rice at $2.99 for 160 Cal where more is wanted, since the step costs 40 cents.
Can I add black beans to another item?
- Cause
- The record carries this row as a standalone side at $2.59. No add-on pricing for beans inside another item appears in the published figures.
- Fix
- Check the app, where substitutions and additions are priced at order time. Nothing published covers them.
The smallest food figure on the menu, at a mid-range side price
50 Cal is the smallest number Taco Bell prints against any food item in this record. Only Premium Hot Coffee goes lower, at zero, and that is a drink. The price attached to it is $2.59, read from the company's snacks page on 19 August 2026.
Those two figures together produce about 19 calories a dollar. Across the 83 priced items recorded for this brand nothing else is close, apart from the Shredded Beef Dipping Taco at 3.5, and that row's 15 Cal figure is contradicted by the company's own pages elsewhere. So on the standard test used throughout this project, Black Beans is the weakest buy Taco Bell offers.
That test is the wrong one here, and it is worth saying so plainly. A side of beans is not bought for calories. It is bought as a protein and fibre addition to an order built mostly from tortilla, beef and cheese, and 50 calories is a feature of that rather than a failure. What the figure does establish is that this is a genuinely small portion.
What's in it
Seasoned black beans, served warm in a small tub, with no cheese and no rice in the published build. Adding rice is a separate row: Black Beans and Rice is $2.99 with 160 Cal, so 40 cents brings 110 more calories. Published nutrition stops at 50 Cal, because the company's per-item panel returns nothing readable to an automated fetch and its nutrition index page 404s, which leaves no figure for fat, sodium, carbohydrate or protein anywhere in the record.
Is it worth it
Against the rice version, no. Forty cents is a small step and it triples the portion's calorie content, which makes the plain row hard to recommend to anyone who eats rice.
Against the cheaper rows in the section, the price stands out. Chili is $1.00 with 60 Cal and Guacamole is $1.39 with 70, so both cost less than this and carry more. Anyone adding a small warm side to an order for the lowest money has two better-priced options on the same page.
The case for the plain beans is dietary rather than economic. It is the lightest food row Taco Bell prints, it carries no cheese and no rice, and for a reader watching the total on an order that is exactly the point. Nothing outside the company prices it, so $2.59 rests on the company's own page under its note that posted prices apply at participating restaurants and vary.
