It sounds like the perfect combination of things that people like. Taco Bell tacos may not be made with all beef, but who really cares? It’s a taco for less than $1 and it tastes awesome, so if it’s mostly meat mixed with flavored oatmeal or whatever, I don’t really care. The same thing can be said for Doritos. I don’t care what they’re made of, because they taste great. I can only imagine how awesome a cross between those two things would be. A Toledo, Ohio, Taco Bell is testing a Doritos Locos Taco, which features a Taco Bell taco sitting atop a shell made from nacho cheese-flavored Doritos chips! It’s even been captured on video.

I live in the same city as the international headquarters for a certain multinational food conglomerate featuring a certain Colonel’s famous fried chicken, and as such I know a lot of people who go over to their headquarters to try things from their test kitchen, and there is also a test kitchen restaurant (in a completely different style from the average location) where you can go and eat food items before they become food items, as well as eat some ideas that never get out of the planning stage. if I was anywhere near Toledo, Ohio, I’d be hitting up the Taco Bell in an attempt to get my face wrapped around a Doritos Loco Taco.
After all, you never know when a food item is going to be a big hit or never see the light of day. That said, let me know when Cool Ranch Doritos taco shells hit the market, because that’s my favorite flavor of Doritos chip.
