Please don't judge me. I just HAD to do it. Last year, I was fooling around online and stumbled across a blog post with a funny looking taco. I did a little research and found Taco Bell had a new taco with a Doritos shell. The only catch was that it was in limited locations. I did an informal Facebook poll on whether or not I should fly to New Mexico to try one. In the end, I realized I was being ridiculous.
So, imagine my delight when Taco Bell announced they were releasing the Doritos taco nationally. (Squeal!!!!) Well, at least that's was how I felt in the beginning. Then I started trying it to put it off. Was I really sure I'd like a Doritos taco? I didn't know anyone else who had tried it. Would it make me sick? Finally, I gathered my courage and found a friend to come along and hold back my hair if need be.
In true Taco Bell fashion there are two kinds of Doritos tacos, regular and taco supreme. I'm going to be honest, the regular taco wasn't bad. I haven't had a hard shell taco in years but this one tasted pretty standard. Oddly, I couldn't taste much of the Doritos flavor. Sadly, the taco supreme was a far less pleasant experience. I suspect the wetness from the sour cream and tomatoes enhanced the Doritos flavor. It was disgusting. I'm not sure what I expected, but I left there feeling very disappointed. On the upside, we took a couple of the tacos out with us later that night and they seemed to be popular with the bar folk. Why wasn't I surprised?
