What’s up with Taco Bell’s double dose of collaborations on the identical time? At present on the menu, there’s the Flamin’ Sizzling Grilled Cheese Burrito and this Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Rooster Mushy Taco (there’s additionally a burrito model). Taco Bell ought to’ve gone for a Flamin’ Sizzling Frank’s RedHot collab in a single product. That might’ve been scorching and one lengthy product title.
The spotlight of the limited-time menu merchandise is the sauce, which is a mix of Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce, Taco Bell’s Diablo Sauce, and tangy ranch. Taking a look at that lineup makes me assume this might’ve been a loopy collaboration between Frank’s RedHot and Hidden Valley Ranch. Two phrases: sauce synergy!
However there’s a extra crucial situation I need to deal with.
Sure, my order seems just like the flour tortilla is throwing up cheese, pico de gallo, purple cabbage, and lettuce, with Frank’s RedHot Diablo Sauce drooling out of the aspect of it. I assume the crispy rooster strip could be the tongue? I’m unsure if the one who made my order was being loosey goosey with the substances due to the lunch rush, however my taco was thiccco. And, as anticipated, with the weird quantity of taco roughage, loads of it misplaced to gravity.
Regardless of the Sizzler salad bar in my taco, the Buffalo taste stands out. Nonetheless, it’s onerous to find out how the parents at Taco Bell Diablo-fied it as a result of it tastes like a regular vinegary and smoky Buffalo sauce, and it’s not noticeably hotter. There’s a spicy kick to it that I’d price a 3 or 4 on my private warmth scale, however I don’t assume including the Diablo sauce turns up the fireplace. Lastly, I don’t style any tanginess from the ranch, though its creaminess is obvious.
However I’m superb with the condiment not tasting like a singular mashup as a result of I loved the Buffalo taste. However what I additionally preferred was the vegetable smorgasbord. The acidic bursts from the tomatoes complement the spicy orange sauce, and I preferred the crunch of the purple cabbage that enhanced the rooster strip’s texture. Though somewhat dry, the rooster strip was meaty and went all the size of the tortilla. However its taste was blocked by the Buffalo, which I didn’t thoughts.
Total, Taco Bell’s Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Rooster Mushy Taco is scrumptious, and I loved it sufficient to order it once more throughout a subsequent go to. Whereas the second wasn’t as stuffed as my first one, it was simply as tasty.
