At the top of the list is the double steak grilled cheese burrito. With 40 grams of protein per serving, it's currently the most high protein option on the Taco Bell menu.
While it's a relatively new addition, it's quickly become one of Taco Bell's most popular offerings, and it's not hard to see why. This indulgent burrito has a double serving of grilled steak, seasoned rice, three kinds of cheese, fiesta strips, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. All that goodness is wrapped up in a flour tortilla that's topped with even more shredded cheese and grilled on top.

The double steak burrito's spicy sister also brings 40 grams of protein per serving. Like the regular version, it's full of protein from a double helping of grilled steak and the mozzarella, cheddar, pepper jack cheese trio. It gets its spice from added jalapeno slices, giving it a nice kick of heat and a refreshing crunch.

For a good balance of protein and veggies, the Taco Bell Power Menu Bowl is one of the best options you can get. It's made with lettuce, pico de gallo, seasoned rice, black beans, guacamole, your choice of grilled protein, and a drizzle of tasty avocado ranch sauce.
The chicken power menu bowl has the most protein out of the lineup, with 27 grams of protein per meal, and I like to add extra grilled chicken to the order for 14 grams more.

Another quick bite that packs a lot of protein is their steak quesadilla. It has grilled steak, three kinds of cheese, and creamy jalapeno sauce folded and grilled in a flour tortilla. If you want to cut back a bit, skipping the creamy jalapeno sauce will shave about 70 calories off the meal without reducing the protein content.
7. Chicken Quesadilla

Just like with the steak quesadilla, you can opt to skip the creamy jalapeno sauce, which will bring the calorie count down to around 450 calories without sacrificing any protein. Add any of their hot sauce packets to get some of that spiciness back for zero extra calories.
