Taco Bell's burritos are already a hit, but with a few simple additions and modifications, you can elevate your experience to a whole new level. Here are some of our favorite tips to make your next Taco Bell visit truly memorable.
Get it Grilled
The simple act of grilling your burrito can make it taste gourmet. It's free, and it adds a crunch to the tortilla while ensuring the fillings don't fall out. This is especially useful for kids, as one Reddit user noted, but it's a popular choice for adults too. The idea that Taco Bell should make grilling the default option is widely supported, although there are concerns that the chain might start charging extra for this service.
Turn the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito into a Quesarito
The legendary Quesarito is a fan favorite, but it's often off the menu. A simple solution is to order the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito as a base and swap out the beans for rice, add chipotle sauce, and get it grilled. While it won't be an exact replica, it's a close enough substitute to satisfy your cravings.
Add Ground Beef to the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito
This modification takes a budget-friendly snack and turns it into a hearty meal. Adding ground beef to the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito is so popular that it's listed under 'Customer Creations' on the Taco Bell website. It's a simple way to add volume and flavor, making it a great option for those who want a more substantial meal.
Add Sour Cream and Onions to the Chili Cheese Burrito
The Chili Cheese Burrito is a classic, but adding sour cream and onions takes it to the next level. The sour cream adds a fresh, acidic hit, while the onions provide crunch. However, be sure to ask for extra sour cream and have it spread evenly, as this is a common complaint among customers.
Add Fire Sauce to Any Burrito
Taco Bell's Fire Sauce is a well-balanced mix of savory, sweet, hot, and smoky flavors. It's a perfect accompaniment to any burrito, adding a warming spice without overpowering the other ingredients. While it's a fan favorite, there are other sauces available for those who prefer less heat.
