Anyone remember the chili cheese burrito from taco bell

[Arcanetrance]

It's one of the only fast food thinga I can ever say I really enjoyed eating and was kind of addicted to. Well I went to a taco bell recently for the first time in a long time. Turns out it was discontinued

1. I contemplated Taco Bell last week....and I wasn't drunk

So today the wife and I went to this crazy local place that makes super fancy tacos. I had a fresh salmon taco, a carne asada taco and my new fav...

The Brisket Taco (from their menu)
A House Speciality, and one of Don’s all-time FAVES! Beef Brisket, braised in
Dos Equis Amber Beer, served on a soft flour tortilla with our house-made Ranchera sauce, Cotija cheese, finished with fresh cilantro and onion.

If you're ever in Jax FL be sure to hit Taco Lu near the Beach


Friends don't let friends eat Taco Bell (unless they're stoned)

[Arcanetrance]

2. That sounds delicious usually I use the dos equis in micheladas

16. We have an upscale foody court in Napa

At the taco place you can get duck or crab tacos and locally brewed beer. Expensive little puppies, but oh so good. I usually top off the meal with cardamom ice cream from across the way. I can only do this when I'm flush, which is seldom.

20. Speaking of Jax FL -- is Beach Road Chicken still around? Loved that place! Nt

[NightWatcher]

21. Oh yes. I eat there about once a year

It's one of those "why don't we come here more" places around here.

[Stardust]

26. I admire your self-control...I'd be there way more often!

3. The thing I used to love at Taco Bell - "Taco Light"

This was way back in the 80s, when I was a kid. They offered this thing called a "Taco Light", which was basically a taco with a crunchy white tortilla shell. It was delicious, but for some reason they discontinued it.

ON EDIT:

Look, I even found an old commercial for it!

Damn, that Taco Light was good. Now I really, really want a Taco Light, and they haven't made one since like 1989 or something.

5. Doesn't look terrible personally I never like tacos with flour tortillas

[Throd]

4. I liked the MexiMelt.

[Arcanetrance]

6. I never tried it

[CherokeeDem]

9. My fave....

Love the MexiMelt...

[bluesbassman]

12. Liked those too, along with the chili cheese burrito.

Yum.

[MiddleFingerMom]

7. The bean-and-cheese burrito. Mmmmmm.

10. +100000 nt

[Joe Shlabotnik]

8. oh no.

I loved those things. I used to get them when I was working late at night and wanted something cheap and fast to eat on the go. When did they discontinue them?

[Arcanetrance]

11. According to Google it seem 09 10

Shows how long it's been since I had gone

[Joe Shlabotnik]

13. I was so concerned,

that I checked Taco Bells Canadian website..... We still have 'em here!

[Arcanetrance]

14. Well that that settles it I'm moving to Canada

[NV Whino]

15. Yeah, I loved it.

Then they discontinued the Baja Chicken Chalupa. Then they introduced the crumbly "Doritos" taco shells for the classic tacos. Then they started charging for the senior (previously free) drink. They finally cured me of my Taco Bell fetish. I don't go any more.

[Arcanetrance]

17. I honestly only ever went for the chili cheese burrito and I stopped going for a bunch of years

I think them getting rid of it basically was getting rid of the last reason I had to go. Since I moved to Houston I've discovered a better alternative called Taco Cabana plus there are some awesome taco trucks

[SQUEE]

18. I miss the green sauce, not the verde in the packet,

but the warm green sauce they had as analternative to the regular red auce... Combo burrito with green sauce, OMG noms!!!

[Arcanetrance]

19. I tried that once I liked it alot it's funny I didn't try taco bell til I was 14

Growing up my parents didn't do fast food. I got addicted to the chili cheese burrito

[politicat]

22. They still had them 8 months ago here.

TB is off my radar now because carbs kill my pancreas, but the chili cheese was still available. They still make the red chili, the cheese is standard and so are the tortillas.

[Arcanetrance]

23. Wow that's not fair

[politicat]

24. I'm sorry.

Try asking, or try a different location. The good thing about TB is they actually have a pretty limited ingredients list and the variety comes through creative recombination.

Oh, also, they're dead easy to make if you've got access to good tortillas.

(Gah. I miss tortillas.)

25. I lived on those in college

They were 99 cents each. That and a small Mountain Dew were my prework dinner (I generally worked from 6-midnight) many an evening.

27. My favorite is the Crunchwrap Supreme. Now that I've reminded myself, I'll probably have one

in the next few days. So much for laying off the fast food (though I've gotten it down to once a week or less).
