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 2 years 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 2 years ago (4 children)

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

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] graymess@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Looks legit. Shitheadsteve is the ceo of taco bell

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Ahh, thanks for informing me!

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

His full name is “Shithead” Steve Taco Bell

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago (4 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years ago

This is a game changer. Thank you.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Double decker taco did it too

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ieightpi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait Taco Bell actually tweeted this?

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ieightpi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm usually not this gullible

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Happens to all of us sometimes lol

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago
[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Eating in your car is nasty

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

That's why I eat in my car.

It is not as nasty as your car.

[–] Echo5@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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?)
