Dogged by claims last year that its fillings are comprised mostly of non-meat products like soybean oil and chemicals like silicon dioxide, Taco Bell is looking to revamp its image as a purveyor of poor quality food.

Enter Cantina Bell, the fast food giant's latest attempt at rebranding as a healthier alternative to cheeseburgers and french fries.

Starting next month the restaurant chain's nearly 5,600 locations will roll out a new "gourmet Mexican" menu that include items like the Cantina Burrito Bowl and the Cantina Burrito, each at around $5.

With ingredients like fire-roasted tomato salsa, black beans and herb-marinated chicken, the meals are being positioned as healthier and fresher than the standard items Taco Bell features on its menu.

Taco Bell's move toward a greener, leaner menu comes on the heels of its wildly successful Doritos Locos Tacos campaign, which resulted in the chain selling 100 million tacos in just the first 10 weeks.
