Yahoo Lifestyle Taco Bell Fans Say if Chain ‘Can Successfully Pull Off’ This Item, They’re All In
Taco Bell isn’t shy about crafting innovative new menu items—from chicken al pastor chalupas to frozen drinks, the fast food chain regularly delights fans with its unexpected, but delicious, flavor pairings.
Now, those fans are begging to sample the test kitchen menu items that were dropped last month at the brand’s Live Más live event.
Popular food blogger Snackbetch shared a roundup of the items on April 2, highlighting some of the items that, unfortunately for fans, are not available for national distribution at this point. However, items from last year’s event did make their way onto menus eventually, so there’s still hope.
Fans seemed especially intrigued by the brisket taco option, proclaiming that they’d be thrilled if Taco Bell can “successfully pull off brisket.” Others agreed, writing that the menu item sounds “amazing.”
Brisket notoriously takes a long time to make, with experts suggesting an average of one and a half hours of cook time per pound.
The influencer described the menu item as “a taco featuring slow-roasted brisket, shredded cheese and purple cabbage.”
Not all fans were enthusiastic about the potential menu items, with one writing, “Taco Bell could use some new ingredients. I swear they just make new combinations of the same 10 ingredients and slap a goofy name on whatever they come up with.”
Another agreed, commenting, “As an employee, I can confirm half of these won't be coming.”
But most seemed excited by the prospect. “They could never ever ever make me hate taco bell,” declared one fan as another proclaimed, “I want to try them all.”
