Wouldn't you think that would make them better for you than a Big Mac or other burger?

Didn't Jack-in-the-Box make tacos with no beef whatsoever?
They were supposed to be beef flavored soy protein or somesuch.

I have some concerns about those fillers though....

Some Foster's Freeze (a California chain) still make tacos, and they're awesome. They fry a corn tortilla on the grill, put seasoned ground beef, chopped lettuce, onions, diced tomatoes, and two slices of cheese. Gets all melty and gooey.

Yum!

Taco Bell issues a delicious rebuttal.

"At Taco Bell, we buy our beef from the same trusted brands you find in the supermarket, like Tyson Foods. We start with 100 percent USDA-inspected beef. Then we simmer it in our proprietary blend of seasonings and spices to give our seasoned beef its signature Taco Bell taste and texture. We are proud of the quality of our beef and identify all the seasoning and spice ingredients on our website. Unfortunately, the lawyers in this case elected to sue first and ask questions later -- and got their "facts" absolutely wrong. We plan to take legal action for the false statements being made about our food."

I'm not sure they're legally entitled to call it food.

I remember a few years ago they got in trouble for using animal feed for their taco shells.

I am forced to eat Taco Bell about once every two weeks, and I can't remember a time when it didn't make me sick.

Dammit, now I have a craving for Mexican food.
Real Mexican food, that is.

By the way, if you live near the Dublin/Livermore area in California, you should really try Casa Orozco. Excellent authentic Mexican food.

Well, they're actually reconstituted from concentrate.

That makes sense. At the Dean's party.
