    Love Taco Bell but haven't been in years. My first taco from the bell was 1975 in Mississippi after coming back from deployment. Crunchy tacos and a burrito supreme. Almost forgot the taco salad with their green sauce.

    Brown your ground beef in a pot and while browning add water and use your hand held electric mixer. Makes it really fine textured.

    I bake my corn tortillas on a non-greased baking sheet (325 degrees) to get a crunchy texture for tostadas. That way you can do up to 6 at a time. I’ll bet it would work for flour tortillas also. Oh, and I flip them a couple times during cooking to get an even drying out..... Love your channel.

    Thanks Nicole! The egg potato is what I miss the most. It was in the same little black bowl. It was scrambled eggs, potatoes, and a fresh tomato salsa. It was fantastic and only cost $1.50 or something like that. It wasn't on the menu very long. I tried making it, but mine wasn't the same.

      Yep, was like $0.29 for the original hard-shell beef taco. Never tried their 'enchirito', but as a young kid I can remember getting the side eye as I'd order. A taco... w/ no lettuce or cheese, please. Nearly every time, they'd look at me, confused & say, "huh? ... sooooo you really JUST want the shell + meat??" =p Funny that if I were to go, I'd prob. still get it w/ no lettuce.. even (cough20+) years later. Cheese, good... lettuce, still 'bleh. LOL OH, & yes.. they still are the exact same taste-wise. They do give you a little less 'stuff' & the amt of, I'm sure has to be pre-portioned. As a kid.. they were more free to eye-ball the amts it seemed. They were sure to usually put a little extra ground meat in the shell most times (probably felt bad for me since that's all there was in there) lol Another find & something I hadn't had except for once or twice as a very young child on our way somewhere.... a place called Jack in the Box. I had their tacos & really liked them. Then, they took them out of Chicago... & I haven't seen one since. Then comes a few years ago & Burger King does this promo thing where they are now going to try & offer TACOS. They were like 2 for a buck, how good could they be?! Who'd-a-thunk...... The very second I opened the bag, caught the scent of & then tasted... holy hell, how is this the exact same as Jack-in-the-Box?? No way... yep, whatever sauce they use.. + the shell w/ a slice of cheese in there, deep fried as a whole? Idk, but it was f'in... delicious! Next time I went.... they were gone again. =( ~ Stay safe & be well.

    Taco pizza looks good. I have never tried it. I think I'll try to make it but I would add some lettuce once it's out of oven. I used to get a taco pizza from Shakeys Pizza back in the 70s. Loved it. They don't make it anymore and not sure they're still in business. I really hate when these places discontinue items.

    TB was my first job as a teen in the 80s. The menu items I miss from back then are: Taco burgers, tostadas, Encharitos, Green Sauce, Black olives on Burrito Supremes and Cinnamon Crispas. The biggest thing missing is that in the 80's everything was fresh. Fresh ground beef not frozen, the chips and taco shells were fried in store every morning. The refried beans started as dry pinto beans that were pressure cooked and then refried in lard, definitely not vegetarian.

They look greasy in the package. I see them, on occasion, at Walmart. HINT: they are also the ones used for taco salad bowls.(they’re fun to bake and make mexi-pizza perfect!)
