I worked at taco bell in high school and I couldn't believe people paid to eat these.
P.S - R.i.p 7-layer burrito, Pico de gallo, grilled stufft burrito

>>18258083
To be fair, I don't know what kind of desert would go well at a taco place either.

>>18258126
Tequila

>>18258126
Apple pie burrito

>>18258083
And they discontinued the caramel apple empanada, easily the greatest fast food desert item of all time. the rat fucking bastard, i will never forgive them.

>>18258083
I only ever ate these when they were in the $5 box, and that was mostly because they were just there.

>>18258083
Non-American here, are those just twisted churros?

>>18258364
No, they're a sort of rice based crunchy thing it seems, they taste like dry cereal

They evolved out of the "crispas"

>>18258126
Wouldn't pretty much every mexican dessert work?
Stuff like conchas, sopapillas and even corn cake.

>>18258360
if anyone eats them for any other reason they are mentally ill

>>18258370
if taco bell had sopapillas i would be so much fatter

>>18258083
Those things are so fucking dry it feels like i'm eating styrofoam.

>>18258126
Choco Taco.

>>18258083
I love those fuckers

>>18258343
Fucking A

They're some type of rotini noodle that puffs the fuck up when it's fried, thats why the half-cooked ones are tiny on one end and hard as a rockamphv

>>18258364
They're deep fried noodles

>>18258083
Mods should ban all fast food threads. Nothing to do with cooking

>>18259389
imagine posting the equivalent of yelling into an empty room, it's been 16 years.

Fuck. I worked there in 1987 and we were selling crispas.
They were far more delicious than the shitty styrofoam things they sell now.
Here is why: it was flour tortilla fried in solid shortening (this was trans-fat).
Absolutely delicious, but they absorbed a ton of this trans-fat, and the nutrition label required today would absolutely outlaw such things. Another victim of woke cancel culture, you are not allowed to have anything good anymore, unless you do it yourself.

>it was flour tortilla fried in solid shortening
Just fry it in lard instead. Fuck shortening.

>>18258083
I get them with combo meals sometimes, they're not bad.

>>18259428

This. Lard & tallow all the way.

They are more air than anything. They probably are almost free to make

True

>>18258083
this is the worst item on taco bell's menu. the second worst item on their menu is the mexican pizza

>>18258083
They're literally the same stuff as packing peanuts squirted into oil and dusted with cinnamon and sugar.

>>18258083
>>18258913
I prefer the cinnamon cum balls

>>18258126
Just bring back the caramel apple empanadas. I’ll never understand why they got rid of them but kept the cinnamon twist pieces of shit that nobody likes

i dunno guys, cinnamon twists are fine because anything with cinnamon sugar is fine. worst ingredient though is black beans

>>18259411
>artery destroying fried dough illegal

this is fine. we are crippled by fat as is

>>18258083
My wife kids like them, but we rarely eat fast food.

>I decide I want to exchange something with someone else.
>Government should get to decide to stop me from making that transaction if it's not in my best interest.
Lol fuck off nosey biddy. It's bad enough you tax sales to trade to begin with if you're going to illegally tax income too.

>>18258083
I wish they'd go all the way and straight up make churro fries or something. This is just selling byproduct

I'd give my left nut for a proper churro that is a little doughy....
AL Queda already got my right nut btw
