Taco Bell’s Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco options new, braised, seasoned, shredded beef served with Creamy Jalapeño sauce inside a fresh-fried-daily white corn taco shell (the identical one they used for the Crispy Cantina Soften Taco) with a three-cheese mix (cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack) melted contained in the shell and grilled on the surface of the shell. Every taco comes with heat nacho cheese sauce and savory crimson sauce for dipping.
I went and acquired the Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco for $3.79.
Opening the wrapper yield a little bit of a disappointment because the taco was somewhat flat (as a result of grill-press required to soften the cheese) and appeared to have solely a line of cheese alongside the seam of the taco shell. Happily, there was nearly a whole protection of cheese on the opposite aspect of the shell and the even layer sported a sexy browning. The browning added a toasty notice to the cheese.
The shredded beef was closely seasoned and savory with a finely shredded texture. There wasn’t plenty of beef however what was there provided sufficient taste to make up for it.
The shredded cheese contained in the taco was solely barely melted right here and there and provided a contrasting stringy texture versus the gooey cheese on the surface.
The Creamy Jalapeño sauce below the shredded cheese struggled mightily right here as I actually could not choose up on the marginally spicy, tangy, creamy high quality of it in opposition to the cheese, beef, and dipping sauces.
The taco shell was delicately crispy with a thinner, extra bubbled texture versus Taco Bell’s regular taco shell. Moreover, it was softened by the grilled cheese (the cheese additionally helped maintain it collectively) in order that it was extra liable to bend somewhat than crack when bitten into.
The dipping sauces contributed a pleasant selection to the taco though dipping was a bit awkward because the cups had been pretty small. I principally needed to take bites out of the taco to make it match into the cup opening.
The crimson sauce was good for a barely tangy, savory taste, whereas nacho cheese sauce delivered a well-recognized, creamy, mildly-cheesy taste. Between the 2, I most well-liked going with the crimson sauce or a mix of the crimson sauce and nacho cheese. Dipping the nacho cheese alone felt a bit extreme with all of the cheese that was already within the taco.
Taken altogether, I loved Taco Bell’s Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco fairly a bit. I appreciated the return of crispy, white corn taco shell and the addition of the grilled cheese facet. The brand new shredded beef makes for a pleasant addition to Taco Bell’s protein choice with a special texture than their floor beef or steak and a bolder taste that might work properly with their different savory menu gadgets. They might go properly on some nachos or in a burrito.
