    Man, I know US food is …something else, but still, what the hell is this thing?

    Apparently, the 5 layers are:

    • Beef
    • Cheese
    • Beans
    • Nacho Cheese Sauce
    • Sour Cream

    A.k.a. 5 times protein for no fucking reason. That’s going to taste like garbage, unless you make it entirely too greasy, too.

    I guess, it being called “beefy”, that’s its whole gimmick, but that still doesn’t explain why it exists in the first place. When you could be eating something with a multitude of flavors, which doesn’t sit in your stomach like a brick either, why do you choose just a lump of meat?

      Lol chill, it’s already billed as trash food, nobody sold it as caviar. If someone wants to eat like a raccoon, for the most part, it’s their God given right. No need to high horse it.

      …kinda but also wtf are you talking about? It’s Taco Bell, of course it’s going to be greasy as fuck and delicious.

      Not delicious in the way of fresher more authentic Mexican food. Delicious in the way of Taco Bell.

      That might SOUND like 5x protein, but I am fairly confident there is a pretty minimal amount of protein at all. The beef and cheese sauce are almost entirely fat, cheese is low amount and high moisture, sour cream never had protein to begin with.
