Gluten-Friendly Options
Gluten is not one of the regulated common allergens. However, Taco Bell provides a great deal of transparency into the menu and reports which burritos, tacos, and other items are made with gluten-containing ingredients.
Here is a list of menu items made without gluten that may be a good option for consumers with a gluten intolerance or those who are simply trying to avoid consuming gluten.
Remember, Taco Bell food is prepared in a shared kitchen area with common equipment and oil. There is no guarantee that any foods or beverages are 100% free of gluten.

Summary of FDA Guidelines
Federal regulations cover nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.
Highly refined oil, even if derived from one of the major food allergen groups, is exempted from regulation. As such, highly refined soybean oil is not considered a common allergen.
Restaurants also prepare food in common kitchen areas and on shared equipment such as grills and fryers. Fried food products may be cooked in common fryer oil.
As such, foods made without any of the major allergens may come into contact with or contain trace amounts of allergens through cross contamination.
