Taco Bell has always been a bright spot throughout my life. No matter where I am, what I’m doing or what’s going on in the world, I know I can count on the tacos to make me feel better (even if my beloved Fiesta Potatoes are gone). But what if the normal menu just isn’t exciting you anymore? Well, then it’s time for you to take a peek at a few secret menu items that Taco Bell has been hiding up its sleeve all along!
Special thanks go to Hack the Menu. Here’s a look at the best things on the Taco Bell secret menu:
Tie-Dye Freeze
If you’re super into Taco Bell’s fruity Whip drinks, this was totally made for you. The Tie-Dye Freeze is fairly simple. To order, you’ll ask for either a regular or large size drink. Then, you’ll ask for one layer of each of the Whip flavors: Pineapple, Strawberry and Mountain Dew Baja Blast. After, you’ll have a wicked cup of colors that tastes better than you could even imagine!
Cheesarito
If you’ve never heard of this one, let me fill you in. Best. Snack. Ever. If you love some delicious cheese on the go, this is totally for you. To order this one, you’ll want to ask for melted cheese, scallions and the sauce of your choice (Fire, obviously!) wrapped up in a soft tortilla. These are ordered so often that some Taco Bells actually know the order already, but be prepared to recite the recipe just in case.
The Incredible Hulk
YES, that is actually what it’s called, and it’s unbelievably delicious. To order, you’ll start with a Beefy Five-Layer Burrito and replaced the nacho cheese for guacamole. You’ll then say you want to skip the inner 6″ shell and make it fresco. You may also skip the sour cream, if you so wish.
I think this item would go great with some Nacho Fries, don’t you think?
Enchirito
If you’re anything like me, you probably love a few good enchiladas in your stomach. Well, this Taco Bell secret menu hack takes enchiladas to the next level. To order, you’ll ask for an enchilada (or five) and ask to add to beef, beans and cheese to your heart’s desire. There’s a little more heft to this enchilada, and it’ll definitely do the job of filling you up for at least a few hours. Then you can go back for some more later, right?
