Taco Bell Tests Taco Shell Made Entirely of Doritos

Chips on the side have nothing on this fast-food creation.

Mexican chain restaurant Taco Bell is reportedly testing the Doritos Locos Tacos, a taco shell made entirely of nacho cheese Doritos.

"Shut the front door and hand me a bib and some wet wipes to wipe the flavored dust from my trembling mouth!" blogger MB Quirk celebrated in The Consumerist.

The buzz surrounding the cheesy creation stems from the discovery of a July video making the viral rounds across the Web. In the footage, the willing taste tester exclaims that the taco is "everything I expected and more."

But not everyone is overtly impressed, considering that when it comes to extreme eats, Taco Bell has set the bar pretty high for itself.

"Much has been made of extreme food recently, what with KFC's Double Down and Denny's new bacon holocaust rippling through the Internet," Stephen Reader wrote for Death and Taxes. "Taco Bell, by contrast, has been crazy forever. In fact, Doritos Locos Tacos represent a relatively tame outing for the faux-Mexican chain."

So far only a handful of trial runs have been noted. Food blog GrubGrade released photos of the zesty taco shell taken in Toledo, Ohio, and other reports mention Taco Bell locations in Wichita, Kan.

There is no indication that Taco Bell will make the Doritos Locos Tacos nationally available, according to Foodbeast.
