Andrew Rea is THE number one man in the world of UA-cam food, but you probably know him better as the face, the voice, the hands, and the mind behind the Babish Culinary Universe. When I decided I wanted to sit down and pick out some healthier menu items from Taco Bell, I knew there was only one guy to go to for helping my suss out the culinary aspect of the food. Yes, I can talk the nutrition, but I needed Andrew to discuss how it was prepared and the quality of the ingredients. I looked at a handful of Taco Bell menu items: black beans, chicken soft taco, crunchwrap supreme, veggie power bowl, bean burrito... maybe some other surprises as well. Let me know down below if you think there were some menu items I missed!

hi
You forgot the 50 calories worth of black beans- 🫘
Doctor Mike is actually one of those content creators that can entertain and inform you at the same time 💯
We got the new age of the extended edutainment youtube universe (EEYU). At the forefront are Doctor Mike and Legal Eagle.
I hope we get more cameos from the old guard, like Vsauce.
I wish we just watched him instead for health class
Doesn't hurt that he's good lookin' too 😏
A lit of fitness influencers do that as well, Jesse James West, Will Tennyson, Greg Doucette, Noel Deyzl, Trystan Li, Derek of MPMD, etc.
He's like the medical Bill Nye.
Doctor Mike saying "can we sue" after finding a chicken bone in chicken meat is one of the most American thing i've heard 🤣
I feel like he was saying it just to be silly and extreme on UA-cam because everyone's heard of Americans suing over nothing especially fast food chains
Any chsnce to sue a corporation and get money is a W
@@VioletEmerald yes of course he said that to be silly ! I did understand that haha
Still was American af
@@JR-zi9vj you're not wrong haha
Disappointed they didn't have a Legal Eagle cameo after that remark
Mike and Andrew match together so well, if they had a whole channel dedicated to this, i would love it. Its pretty smart too, half food and half health related, both entertaining, informative, and food is a plus.
A Dr. Mike and Binging with Babish collab isn’t something I knew I needed but I’m so grateful I received.
I'd love to see this as a series for different fast food places.
how about Taco Bell's archenemy, Del Taco?????
I love that they went to a random Taco Bell and got a messed up order like normal people and just rolled with it 😅
Make this a series! I would love to see other fast food joints compared and having their menus analyzed for nutritional content! McDonald’s should be next!
I used to work at Taco Bell and never understood why people don't ask for "Fresco Syle" (as it was known back in the day) more. We would replace any sauce, sour cream or guacamole and cheese with the pico de gallo (called fiesta at Taco Bell). Also you can substitute any meat for beans. We used to have an Indian family who would come in and order Mexican pizzas which already come with beans but replace the meat with double beans and that is how I learned about the bean substitution thing...
This collab between you and Babish is so amazing! Its also nice to see the informative side of these culinary videos too!
he needed to add Caitlin Doughty from the UA-cam channel Ask A Mortician, to the video, to show us what will eventually happen if people out there keep eating the Breakfast Crunchwrap Sausage Supreme!!! 🤣
Hello, I got something special for you text above to acknowledge your gift Now 🥂🎁🎊
Dr. Mike, I was recently diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and Type 2 Diabetes. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been stressing out adjusting my diet and finding things I can eat at the places I used to love, one of them being Taco Bell. This video came at the PERFECT time for me! Thank you!
I would love to see a video like this with McDonalds! It's my favorite fast food brand and they market healthy options a lot, I'd like to see Mike's opinion on the "healthy" options
Yasssss
I feel like McDonald’s is overrated
YES!!!!!! 👍🏼❤️😁
Since they took away grilled chicken products on their menu idk how much health is still left. I forgot if they still sell salads so perhaps that.
In sweden we have a lot of vegan options in McDonald's which are healthier. They're pretty good
As someone with a lot of texture issues with food due to sensory processing disorder I frequently make my own versions of things to be able to enjoy them because they typically have textures I hate in them and are also loaded with sauces that are disgusting so I appreciate you explaining what’s in these so I know what to avoid should I ever be in a situation where Taco Bell is my only option for food. Now you’ve gone and made me hungry for a burrito though, lol, thanks for the inspiration for what to have for lunch at work!
Get it brotha
I never thought this collab would happen, but I am so glad that it did! Thank you Doctor Mike, the editors, and Babish for this amazing video!
it helps that they both live in NYC
Hello, I got something special for you text above to acknowledge your prize Now 🥂🎁🎊
I think your the wrong person actually
We don't have taco bell in Norway, but making your own soft tacos with lots of vegetables, minced meat and sauces is something we love! Us Scandinavian people also like to eat whole grain flour products, so we often have whole grain tortillas.
No Taco Bell for Germans as well, but if you are a US-soldier, you can get some on military ground in Germany (like Ramstein air base). Fortunately I am not very sad about it after watching this video.
The chemistry these guys have together in this video is so pleasing. I love it! Great content per usual, Doctor Mike! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Biology student here - a fruit is the structure of a plant containing the seed. The culinary or social definition for fruits and vegetables are not biological terms! Therefore everything 'you feel like' is a vegetable is a vegetable. There's really no exact definition for vegetable except that we mostly prepare it in salty dishes.
Dan does not believe you I guess 😂 or maybe if he reads this
I always love Sam laughing in the background, his laugh is so contagious. Dr Mike your so funny and so chilled 🤣🤣 We all know Dr Mike doesn't like Hot or spicy 🔥 food
He is typical Russian
This channel actually changel my life! I started working on myself taking care about my health so thank you Mike! You are doing a great job! I always wanted to help people like all this influencers so now trying to make a home workouts that enyone can do strait from the home!
We appreciate the fact that Dr Mike is often concise and accurate with the information he gives us. Seems like him and his guest have so much in common together.
This is the collab of my dreams! I love both of them! Also, the editing is fire! It's only 11 am and I'm busting a gut 😂
More of this duo please
Great video, but don't stop there! This should be a series - there's plenty more chain fast food venues to review
Also, great vibes between Mike and Andrew
Chipotle
The crossover I didn’t know I needed!! 😮
Great content per usual 👏🏼. Thank you for keeping 100%! Most people lead such busy lives that fast food is sometimes the only option for a meal. It's good to see there are healthy options on fast food menus.
I've never gone to Taco Bell and this video solidified my opinion. Thank you and this was genuinely fun to watch. 🤗
Wish I could say the same (about having never eaten there. This is a really fun video)! I made the mistake of letting my cousins drag me to Taco Bell once. It was terrible. I've called it Taco Hell ever since.
@@birdbrainz32 😂 I'm sorry
Doesn't exist in my country :( but I've had it in the US and I loved it
@@birdbrainz32 ❤️Can't wait to see more stuff like;
Dr.Mike w/ Good Mythical Morning
Dr.Mike w/ Uncle Roger
Dr.Mike w/ Guga Foods
Dr.Mike w/ Gordon Ramsay
❤️
WOAH! A collaboration between my two favorite UA-camrs in their niche is something I DID NOT expect but I'm here for it!
Need so much more of these. I had the best time watching this, I’ve been working hard on changing my eating habits to maximize the gains and this is so fun and helpful.
This format of video would be PERFECT to do with Keith from the Try Guys! PLEASE do more context with the Try Guys
Yes would love to see Keith! 💙💙💙
Already happened!
since they are from LA and Dr Mike is from NY, i think it's very unlikely
@@david4rancibia34 It already happened, Keith ate Del Taco with Dr.Mike a few days ago.
The “bee whoop!” to bleep the curse words is hilarious!!
I love how passionate he is about what he is doing and how concern he is about us. Love you doctor Mike, you are the inspiration why I wanna go to med school ❤️
Fun fact - as a vegan, Taco Bell is one of the easiest fast food places to eat at. You can sub the meat for beans on any item & when you make it fresco, they’re supposed to not put any dairy on it (obviously they screwed up here, so check it first lol)
I love how the content doctor mike comes up with so fun yet very informative at the same time…❤ lots of love and respect to doctor mike
it is awesome how he adds hosts of other youtube channels.
As a shift lead at taco bell I needed this. I have lots of answers to your questions but you two would be awesome in a Taco Bell. Great job as always. Thank you.
Hey mike! Just wanna say, thanks for being here, you’ve made my life so much better
A collab that I had hoped for but am glad has come to pass. I bet off camera Dr. Mike and Andrew had tons of laughs. Also, now the rest of Babish's videos are going to be wondering what is/isn't a veggie 🤣😅
Can you do more fastfood chains next? Like mcdonalds and five guys.
both tomatos and avocados are fruits AND vegetables.
they are the fruit part of the plant. in botanic terms they are fruits.
a vegetable is a culinary term and can be any part of the plant, fruits included (Eggplant is a Fruit) so both are correct
a Tomato is the fruit part of the plant, and in the kitchen is used as a vegetable.
FUN FACT. Something can be a fruit AND a vegetable since fruit is a botanical term and vegetable is a culinary term
As a Taco Bell food maker I just wanna say I’m sorry that they got all your food wrong.. and for the rice, it’s actually very good if made and prepared correctly. I hope your next experience isn’t as bad!
This is a top notch video. I’ve been waiting for a video like this where a doctor is with a chef and talk about healthy choices. Bee-woop!
My go-to Taco Bell meal is usually 3 regular soft tacos (beef, lettuce, cheese) with 2 mild sauces per taco. If I'm feeling "adventurous" I may do the chicken quesadilla/soft taco combo and Baja blast if there's no new items that appeal to me. I don't do beans, rice, or sour cream so any form of their burritos is out for me.
Real talk: I ate Taco Bell easily 3-5 times a week for several years. I managed to *lose* weight, and I also never had a bone in my food 😂 You do really need to watch the sodium though -- most of the meals are at least 80% (or up to 200%) sodium DV. I used to always half the cheeses and most of the sauces, and add extra lettuce/tomato/onion.
Love your content Mike, as well as the realism you incorporate into your discussions on topics such as fast food. It looks like you and Andrew had a lot of fun filming this video! I wouldn't be opposed to seeing future collabs. :)
It's so cool to see dr. Mike interacting with other people. He has such intense eye contact
Love the collab with Babish. It's also great seeing a healthier way to eat at Taco Bell.
Doctor Mike has sure been eating a lot of fast food tacos 🌮! First, Del Taco with Keith from Try Guys and now Taco Bell with Andrew! 😂
my two favorite content creators in one place? *hell yeah*
I love babish, his videos always satisfy my hunger even when I don't eat
Yeeees!!!! I love it when youtubers I watch both make a video together! 😆
I saw that kitchen in the back and thought: "Hey, I know that kitchen!!!"
Should’ve gotten Devin on the phone real quick for that chicken bone, made it a three-way collab
Doctor Mike Please do a colab with Dr Glaucomflecken next. This would be comedy gold!
Kudos to expanding your colabs with non medical content creators! 👏
The collab I didn't know that I wanted. Great video, as always
Two of my favorite UA-cam Channels together, this is the pairing I didn't know I wanted but definitely needed.
I usually get the chalupa supreme, and I don't think I can give it up lol but based on your taco review at the beginning you have inspired me to try the chicken instead of the beef. I'll get a little more protein, and a little less fat 😂
Loved both parts. Thank you so much. Can't wait to see more.
Dr.Mike w/ Good Mythical Morning

Dr. Mike ❤️❤️❤️ black beans
Hi Doc! Watching you cook amuses me. 73 yrs. here and been cooking for sixty years so the amusement is fond as I taught all my sons to cook. I was a great from scratch cook in a fully equipped kitchen and extensive garden. I moved into temporary quarters this year awaiting a move with son merging households. I thought I could live on largely prepared supermarket meals, generally frozen. Nope, in three months I developed high blood pressure and ended up in ER. So I am cooking again and highly monitoring sodium content. I spent hours in grocery checking labels. EVERYTHING has sodium. Ketchup, beets, bread, salad dressing... literally everything. Fast food or dinner out is impossible. The lowest sodium dish anywhere exceeds what my evidently sodium sensitive body can tolerate. So back to cooking everything from scratch. No mixes, no prepared items, few condiments. Thank goodness for spices! Please do a video on sodium. Perhaps you can convince manufacturers to cut sodium and clearly label.
You know, it’s kind of amazing you are showing the Taco Bell chihuahua. Never got to see the ads when I was little since I never actually paid attention to the TV until I was six or seven, yet I appreciate it so much! Also great to know about which options of Taco Bell is healthy or unhealthy! ;D
fruit is a botanical catagory (the seed bearing bit of the plant formed after flowering) while veggies are a culinary catagory (Generally jsut bits of plants that we eat) and it's fairly arbitary whether something is counted or not. botanically- carrots are a plant's root, tomatoes, squashes, bell peppers and aubergines are fruit, broccoli is a flower, peas are a seed and then there's lots of leafy greens that are leaves (obvs).
Taco Bell Employee of 2 years here. I have genuinely never seen a bone in any of our food. That's crazy to me.
They also totally put red sauce on that burrito... We aren't allowed to put sauce packets on burritos ourselves. That Crunchwrap looked so flat and sad 😭
TB AGM of 10 years here! The Shredded Chicken I s2g used to have bones in it sometimes! But I've never seen it in the regular chicken xD
And deadass I've never seen an order more messed up than what they got 😭 their food looked so baaaaad lmao
(also the breakfast crunchwrap is delicious lmao I'm surprised the Quesarito isn't worse!
Please, we want our green sauce back! Also, the plain bean tostadas. If they can bring back the Mexican pizza, the tostadas should be easy. :)
@@Tam_Eiki bestie the green sauce was removed bc it was hella unpopular (and also bc the tomatillo crop froze over in '14 iirc?), you can order green sauce in most stores, its just the warm ver.
And tostadas probably wont come back bc tostadas constantly come broken/ in pieces, on top of all the ordering issues caused by the double/spicy difference & portioning. 🤷♂️ customers complained about that item so its just easier to get rid of it
@@4br4c4d4vre Thanks for the explanation. I'm kind of surprised to hear that the green sauce was unpopular. Everyone in my circle loved it and wants it back. The next time I go to Taco Bell I'll ask about the warm version of the green sauce to see if they carry it. Thanks again!
Superb content. Thank you! We always order a side of black beans for our toddler. He loves it. Just give the beans plenty of time to cool down. They are so hot.
This would be such a cool series with Andrew, all the favourite takeaway places.
Wow thanks Dr Mike with this video I not only learned about Taco Bell but also my fruits and vegetables like tomato a fruit
Ok. Now you're just taking all the fun out of eating at a fast food place.😂🤣 If I'm going to pay to eat fast food, I'm not going to skimp out on my unhealthy meal to "make it more healthy", especiallyis that means taking away my most favoriteingredientsbeing cheese and sour cream... If I wanted something more healthy, I most certainly would NOT have chosen to go to Taco Bell in the first place. 🤷🏼♀️ I rarely eat fast food, but when I do, imma go all out baby!! 🥰
As a taco bell employee, I really needed this because I eat there everyday I work and I am catholic so we have this thing called "Semana Santa" (Holy week) when we cannot eat meat. Also, the amount I eat there is so unhealthy and I have been trying to watch my health but as you can tell, it's hard working as a employee in a fast-food setting. I've been having health issues lately and I'm trying to watch what i eat. Also, haven't seen your channel is like almost a year, I'm glad I am because when I watch you, I think I'm healthier than I already am lol. Thank you Doctor mike, even though you might not see this. 😁
he never fails to entertain us
dr mike part three the healthiest cheese list
😳Andrew tate 😂
NO CUZ WHEN HE SAID ANDREW I THOUGHT IT WAS HIM
Can you react to medical scenes in Stranger Things
John 15:18 “if the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first”💕✝️
I need more of these videos and more of how to make a healthier version of the fast food menu
First
I can’t even make it through this episode without fantasising about old visits to Taco Bell…picture this, me walking into Taco Bell and walking out with two of those 10 pack hard shell tacos with half Doritos shells and half regular with fire hot sauce, one on each shoulder with my hands on top of each one of them like an old school water jug delivery man, God I miss America. Those were the days where I was a hero in my family‘s eyes are now I’m just the deck head that jumped country when Covid hit🤣
"al fresco style no cheese no sour cream" mike and Andy bite into tacos " so much sour cream in one bite" " so much unmelted cheese"
I love this collab! Two of my very favourite youtubers together. Thank you!
The collab I wasn't expecting, but now I want more.
I recently had surgery done for my stomach, (gastric sleeve) and I am trying my best to stick to a diet. This is extremely helpful if I ever cave and want a taco. IF possible, is there a chance dr Mike can do something similar for pizza?
honestly my fav thing ab taco bell is how easy it is to replace meat- and since they brought back potatoes it's soooo good. i always get the beefy 5 layer burrito, but sub beef for potatoes yum
When you get down to it, a LOT of what we consider vegetables in a culinary sense are, botanically speaking, fruits. Tomatoes, chilis, eggplant, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, avocados, and many more are all fruits. In fact, with the possible exception of avocados (which are sometimes considered drupes, or stone fruit) all those I listed are not only fruits, they are berries.
buy the buffalo wild wings sweet mango habanero or regular mango habanero, then add that sauce to your favorite number of taco bells spicy potato soft taco's. they are on the dollar menu, hard to miss when you are on a tight budget.
Enjoyed watching this Video very much! 🙂
The "Healthier" versions look great! Will try these soon!
Thanks! 🙂Mary
I apparently take out everything healthy in the bean burrito. I get extra red sauce (I used to get it with green sauce instead when that was an option) no onions and extra cheese
as a taco bell worker myself, i 1000% agree with all of this. (can we just talk about how expensive their menu is getting?!)
I was at the airport yesterday and there was a cpr learning station with Dr Mike teaching CPR!! What a cool surprise!
I just had weight loss surgery last month, and this video is so informative and entertaining! Thanks, Dr. Mike. 😎
Can you react to hunger games injury's? (All 4 movies)
Literally lost my breath for a moment when I saw this. The UA-cam colab I didn’t know I wanted. All of the yay🥰
Hey dr mike i currently work at taco bell and i make me a taco bell salad haha i try to put every healthy item on it since thats probably the only healthy thing they have.I put a lot of lettuce topped with fiesta strips,a lot of chicken,tomatos and a drizzle of sauce so i recommend that for people
Babish and Dr Mike - the team up I didn’t know that I was missing.
The collab we didn’t know we needed
the cooking guy reminds me of my middle school English teacher who was an absolute legend
if i had one question to ask Doctor Mike would be, why do we get itches and how? like why do i need or have the need to itch myself? just a question i’ve been asking myself every time i get a itch. great video btw
One key thing with the crunchwrap: they’re best immediately after you get them. If they’ve been sitting a while, the fried tortilla turns mushy.
yup! that happens to me with Burger King chicken nuggets, and street tacos. not really mushy, but they are just uncomfortable to eat when they get cold.
We'll never get bored of Doctor Mike.
I didn't know about fresco style for Taco Bell, I need to try it now. Are you guys sponsored? lol

"Garbage"
MIKE! Fruit is a botanical term. Vegetable, it seems to me, is more of a culinary term. It's not a mutual exclusivity, there is nothing to say a fruit cannot also be a vegetable.
I'd love it for Dr. Mike to address the issues and problems surrounding the MAiD law that's being passed in Canada, because he's open about mental health treatments and whatnot
I have tourettes and on a really bad tic day I was watching doctor mike to try to calm me down (it worked until I watched a video with his comedian friend (can’t remember her name) and she set them off💀) but I ended up picking up a tic of the “beewoop” sound he does in his intros and now I do it on repeat all the time and it makes me smile every time I do it because it reminds me of how happy his videos make me😊
