Coming to you from an overworked and underpaid teenager who probably hates their life.

[-] zoostation@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

$6 for this garbage. Taco Bell used to be a decent guilty pleasure but it's become expensive trash now.

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 month ago

Nah, it was always trash. Just inexpensive. Now it's just expensive trash.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Back in the 90s before the meat fillers, it was different. I used to dine there quite a bit. Modern variations pale in comparison.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm not simping for a brand. But I want to add that you can use their app to get their garbage, and get a decent amount of it, cheap still. (Online exclusives, then it's like a box. I don't remember the name.) Less than $10 and I'm full.

(This post brought to you by, I'm on a medication that makes eating really difficult, but sometimes I can tolerate Taco Bell and when the ability to eat happens I usually have just a few short minutes to procure and start eating before the moment passes. Which is why I've been sitting next to a bowl of my favorite pasta for two hours and have had to reheat it twice. T_T )

Wild guess here, but if it's from antidepressants, like it is for me, you can be prescribed a second antidepressant at a dose too low to help depression, but high enough to get the side effect: heightened appetite. It's not a miracle fix, but it helps me eat more.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's from stimilant medication for ADHD :(

Thank you very much though.

[-] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oof I'm going to go on that soon. This is the main thing I'm afraid of :( best of luck to you!

I still can't replicate a chalupa well enough. Homemade quesaritos don't entirely scratch the itch, but they're pretty good.

But they aren't cheap any more.

[-] wesker 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Chicken chalupa supremes. But man, it's still a crap shoot on if the shells are gonna be warm and toasty, or cold and chewy. I've yet found a Taco Bell that is consistent.

[-] theedqueen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

On a road trip I stopped at a Taco Bell for bean burritos for something easy to eat. Two bean burritos for $8. They used to be less than a $1 each.

[-] Butterpaderp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The secret to cheap fast food nowadays is to use their apps and order online

[-] Buford_T_Justice@reddthat.com 28 points 1 month ago

Is this before or after you ate it?

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It sure is!

[-] _____@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago

knowing taco bell frequenters. they'll say "it was so dogshit" and then repeatedly order it every week

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Literally ate the ingredients and shit them onto the tortilla

[-] AngryishHumanoid@reddthat.com 12 points 1 month ago

God I used to love those 20 years ago. Course they didn't look like that back then.

[-] Asclepiaz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I legitimately love the Mexican pizza. Yes, sometimes it do be looking like that. But sometimes, it's beautiful and perfectly cut without cracking.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 10 points 1 month ago

Looks awful. But I bet it tasted good.

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Ordering pizza from taco bell is like ordering fries at a sushi place. You deserve whatever you get.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago

Okay but no joke some of the best fries in my area are from teriyaki places. They know how to fry food well and the fries aren't ordered enough to be hot held so they're always cooked on ordering

[-] Zier@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

Dear Taco Bell, Please stop throwing up on my order. Thanks

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

I make these at home now because taco bell Canada removed them from the menu.

I can make four 12" Mexican pizzas, twice as thick, not risk getting e-coli/listeria, for about $5 CAD.

Warm oven.

Lightly fry tortillas in pan for about 15 -30 seconds (score them so they don't poof up)

Open refried beans. (Add taco seasoning if you want [you can make that super cheap, too!])

Grate cheese.

Mince some onion.

Pick a few cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, cut cilantro, chives and green onion from plants.

Blend a few of the above with some vinegar, sugar, salt and lemon juice. Heat in pan or pot for a bit. A zingy salsa /sauce.

Put things on tortilla.

Put another tortilla on top.

Sauce it and cheese it and garnish it.

Put in oven.

Take out of oven.

Put in mouth.

Enjoy.

**addendum

I haven't made them in a while and I don't normally take pics of my food so this is old and blurry

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Fucking legend!

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

not risk getting e-coli/listeria

Pfft, whats the point even?

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Looks the same on the other end

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Posting fast food here is like cheating lmao

[-] EfficientEffigy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Had the runs just by looking at this.

[-] Scolding7300@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

What a cheesekakke

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Bro I think somebody murdered a crab, took off its legs, and let it rot in a vat full of acid and raw sewage for two weeks before serving it to you.

[-] Lookorex@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We got them for free from the app once. I was so disappointed I asked for a refund.

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 month ago

Who ordered snot on a tortilla? Do you want additional cheese?

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

I'm sure Mexicans would approve of this

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

No, no they would not. Source: am one.

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Holy shit they brought it back .. or was I just really high and I imagine it went away‽

[-] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

You didn't imagine it. They were discontinued and came back. I remember there being different varieties of Mexican pizza now, too, but I only see classic and veggie. Maybe I'm mixing it up with the crunch wrap.

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh God I miss the crunch wrap ...all the crunch but none of the mess. We should make our own Taco Bell that's better with hoofjiack and blackers....

(I meant black jack and hookers but It felt you should see that window into my not awake yet mind)
