Patronizing Taco Bell always feels like an adventure. Its lively menu showcases endless possibilities.
Those in the know can enter this world where menu hacks are hidden. It’s not just about ordering an extra packet of sauces. Rearranging these side dishes always creates something completely new. It often tastes much better than the original recipe they created.
Talking to the friendly staff also works, and the customization options make for a no-holds-barred experience. Fans always really enjoy this creative freedom. Over time, they have invented truly legendary combinations.
1. **Swapping Refried Beans for Black Beans**: There’s nothing wrong with Taco Bell’s classic refried beans; they’re often featured in many iconic dishes. Sometimes, mixing them up creates magic.
Swap dry beans for black beans. Black beans provide more texture and often a stronger flavor. This subtle tweak has a big impact and it feels good to go for a less uniform flavor. The bean burrito is the shining star of this improvement. It was already a delicious standby.
It’s a fairly inexpensive customization. But the price doesn’t mean anything, and that pays off in rich flavor.
2.**The Cheesarito**: Oh, the Cheesarito does exist! It’s the true legend of Taco Bell’s secret menu. It was born entirely from the wisdom of its fans.
It always tastes hot and cheesy, satisfying and moreish. The core part is very simple. It’s a blend of three cheeses melted by Taco Bell. Topped with the signature red sauce. Traditionally, scallions are always included. Taco Bell has changed so many ingredients over the years that it always feels like a chore to savor a Cheesarito these days.
Refried Beans
Equipment
- 1 Large Skillet For sautéing and cooking the beans.
- 1 Wooden Spoon or Potato Masher For stirring and mashing the beans.
- 1 Measuring Spoons For chili powder.
- 1 Measuring Cup For broth.
Ingredients
Main
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder or other chili powder
- 1 15-ounce can pinto beans, preferably low-sodium, drained and rinsed
- 2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth plus more if needed
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chili powder and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the beans and chicken broth and cook until the beans are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Mash the beans coarsely with the back of a wooden spoon, adding more chicken broth to moisten, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the cilantro.
Notes
3. **The Quesarito (Recreation)**: Quesarito, a beloved menu item, sadly disappeared in 2020. But it’s comforting to know that its spirit lives on forever. The name itself says it all, it’s a hybrid. It’s a combination of Taco Bell king-sized tacos, and the freedom to customize can help you find the ingredients for this menu.
4. **Lava Sauce Recreation**: Few sauces in the history of fast food have inspired such a cult following. Like the existence of Taco Bell’s legendary Lava Sauce. The initial sensation has always existed, always alongside the iconic Volcano Taco. The Volcano Taco has also existed.
This one appeared back in 2012. Since then, it has made a limited return. Most recently in 2023. Now here’s the good news, don’t wait for the Volcano Menu to return. Menu hackers have found a brilliant way to recreate the flavor of spicy nacho cheese.
The secret is simple, order a chorizo cheese anytime, anywhere. Either through the app or by asking the staff. Then grab the fire sauce packet. This has been a widely circulated ordering suggestion. We recommend grabbing two packets of Fire Sauce, after all, you need to do it yourself when applying it to your burrito.
5.**Double-Grilled Quesadilla*: Sometimes the simplest tips always make people feel the happiest. For example, the extra grilling process enhances the standard grill.
The added heating time transitions its texture from moist to chewy, and there’s a rich cheese flavor that wraps around your taste buds. You can go ahead and add steak or chicken as you like .
6. **The Hulk Burrito**: Vaguely familiar to the world of superheroes? Hulk always means a color of green. Taco Bell’s green is their guacamole, a seasoned, creamy avocado puree.
The Standard Hulk Burrito feels very straightforward. Ordering is so easy now that you can order through the Taco Bell app.
The low-priced bean burrito there is already loaded with tons of refried beans, and the red sauce and shredded onion cheddar cheese is always the same. Now it’s always time to add a key guacamole to add a unique fresh avocado flavor.
7. **Add Nacho Fries to pretty much anything**: Without nachos, you’re missing out on a lot. They have become the best-selling food of all time. The best part is that they are so easy to add and can be added to any menu.
Digital ordering can be done this way, using the app to see the customization options listed. Then select “Seasoned Fries,” where the fries themselves taste great. Adding them takes the flavor to the next level.
