It makes more sense that they are just assholes rather than they can't figure out basic taco architecture, despite 50+ years in the taco making biz.

[-] username_unavailable@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

If they put that little cheese on warm meat, everyone would be back inside saying, "I didn't get any cheese, look."

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

If they put the lettuce on top, isn’t that just going to fall all over?

[-] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah but the cheese doesn't melt bc of this :(

[-] graymess@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Taco Bell cheese wouldn't melt in the microwave. You want "melty cheese" there, get the nacho sauce.

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

I'm sorry but what?

It'll melt on the 30m drive from the nearest TB to my house, it melts when I reheat tacos from the taco box no problem

[-] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I used to order them without lettuce when I used to go there, and it'll melt on the ride home. Won't be pretty or good, but it'll do

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 3 points 10 months ago

Solution: put neither cheese nor lettuce on top. Don't ask me what SHOULD be on top though, I don't have my masters in taco engineering..yet.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

have you ever tried? bc i have, and no, it doesnt (in my experience)

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Cheese Meat Lettuce

The meat would weigh down the lettuce and the cheese would get melty from being on the hot meat. In theory, I've been making mine the same way as taco bell because I always just assumed that was how it was done.

Is this the real account? Can never tell whats real anymore

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 26 points 10 months ago

Looks legit. Shitheadsteve is the ceo of taco bell

[-] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Ahh, thanks for informing me!

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

His full name is “Shithead” Steve Taco Bell

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

I'll never understand why they don't just put the cheese directly on top if the meat so it gets all melty and delicious. That's how I do my tacos at home: It goes meat, cheese, hot sauce, lettuce, cilantro, then pico, in that order. Don't forget to fry shells yourself using corn tortillas. Don't buy that pre-made Old El Paso bullshit.

And now I want to make tacos.

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

The real answer is because they don't look as good. Marketing decided they look sad and pathetic if all you can see is lettuce, since the amount of cheese and meat is so small anyways. They want you to SEE it has cheese. They don't care if you can't taste it because it's on your lap.

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I put the cheese first, then meat on top to melt it and make the meat stick to the tortilla.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

The far superior Crunchwrap Supreme was practically engineered to solve every case of taco mishap imaginable. Crunchy, tasty, and sh*t doesn't fly everywhere when you bite into it. It even keeps your hands relatively clean. If you must eat in your car, this is the way to go.

The only flaw is it doesn't have a good way to inject hot/medium/mild sauce into the envelope, and I'm pretty sure you can't order it prepared that way.

[-] LordTrychon@startrek.website 4 points 10 months ago

I can't believe I never thought to ask it prepared that way. This makes the crunch wrap such a more inviting option for me.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You can. I worked at Taco Bell, and our managerial training had/has an entire module that boils down to: "if we can reasonably do it, and the customer asks, then do it."

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 10 months ago

As Bill Hicks put it:

"Welcome to Taco Bell. How would you like your beans and rice arranged?"

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

This is a game changer. Thank you.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 10 months ago

I miss the grilled stuffed burrito. It was the same thing, but much more convenient to hold.

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Double decker taco did it too

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

That's the one with the soft taco shell bean-glued to the outside? Solid compromise to prevent taco-shell shrapnel from ejecting all over your lap. Doesn't fix OP's cheese problem though.

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I mean every taco I eat I just kinda push it all down a little bit and it’s usually fine

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Cheese on top is OK, just gotta melt it. Acts as a sorta glue. Without melting? Yeah get fucked

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Needs more, too. Won't be enough to make the net otherwise.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Wait Taco Bell actually tweeted this?

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 months ago

Photoshop, inspect element both exist... so probably not.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I'm usually not this gullible

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Happens to all of us sometimes lol

[-] BilliamBoberts@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

The taco is just an objectively inferior vessel for transporting food to your mouth. It has two whole open sides that are level with it's base and it's open to the air all across the top. It wouldn't matter what you put on top. It will still spill out. You have to turn your head 90 degrees horizontal to eat a damn taco. Burritos are superior.

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Burrito baby, wrap that taco in swaddling clothes.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

the cheese is garbage. order all regular tacos fresca style.

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago
[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 10 months ago

Put the meat on top so the taco is top heavy, but won't disintegrate at the bottom from the grease.

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago

Eating in your car is nasty

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 18 points 10 months ago

Waiting longer than 45 seconds to eat tacobell is even nastier tho

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago

Thats because Taco Bell is disgusting. The thought of eating that garbage is even nastier then eating in your car.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

That's why I eat in my car.

It is not as nasty as your car.

[-] Echo5@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

There’s some video out on YouTube where the guy eats it for like a month straight and actually does alright. Apparently they’ve been sneakily swapping out ingredients to make it healthier over an extended period of time. So feel better about eating it! (/s?)
