Limited time only

Taco Bell has finally broadened their menu to include an item that every other Mexican restaurant has served for decades: pork. At the moment, the slow-roasted carnitas shredded pork (complete with lime wedge for that "fresh, citrus burst of flavor") is only available in corn tortilla form and only for a limited time. But don't fret, burrito fans! I am about to share with you one of the best kept secrets of Taco Bell: YOU CAN ORDER ANY COMBINTAION OF ANY INGREDIENTS IN ANY FORM! This isn't like McDonald's where you can hold the pickles; at Taco Bell, you can actually order anything you want! You can order a beef chalupa supreme with guacamole, you can order a 7-layer burrito with carnitas, and you can even add sour cream to your otherwise unpalatable fresco taco.

So naturally I've tested a variety of interesting concoctions, and this is what I've learned so far:
  • The grilled stuffed burrito with carnitas is fantastic
  • The 1/2 pound nacho crunch is not better with carnitas
  • Everything is better with sour cream
Now, don't get me wrong, if you're adding an ingredient, they will charge you more (keep that quarter handy). But for simply replacing the boring old chicken in your Gordita Supreme with some savory slow-roasted carnitas shredded pork? That, my friends, is on the house.
