If Taco Bell could add one more ingredient ...

  1. Anybody remember the Ranco Steak Burrito? Mid-90s run. Fantastic. That being said, I think I've eaten there once in five years.

    Oh, and I worked there for a not so miserable six months back in college (at the off-campus one on the other side of town, thank god).

    Anyway, most of the rest of the crew were townies. we'd have to stay open until 3 a.m. on friday/saturday to accomodate the drunks.

    when the kids would roll through the drive thru at 245, this kid billy didn't take it well. He prolly needed to get back to his meth lab trailer.

    let me put it to you this way. if you stopped by this certain taco bell after the bars closed on the nights he worked, the amount of human saliva on your taco was proportional to how big a douche you were while you ordered.

    If it isn't steak, then what is it?

    And I know you weren't talking about fajitas.

    Jesus fucking christ!!!

    You can use any cut of beef. Flank steak and skirt steak are most common. The Rick Bayless cookbook I have suggests neither -- he suggests tenderloin, strip steak or sirloin. My experience is that skirt steak is more common than flank steak for carne asada.

    Weird thing I noticed about Taco Bell when I was in Idaho:

    The combos that regularly come with an additional taco instead come with these small seasoned bite-size potatoes.
    Only in Idaho.

    Be careful if he's eaten at Taco Bell tonight.

    you--and he--might get more than you bargained for.

    In one of my stops, they did french fries. For serious. The combos came with either regular fries or nachos supreme, and for 49 cents or something you could get fries supreme, which is the nacho supreme goo on the fries. Not good, not bad. Fries had little taste on their own but in ways were better as meat/cheese/stuff catchers than the chips. They no longer offer them.

    Folks, "asada" or "asado" means "roasted."

    As in, "Madre, ese, estoy tan pinche asado," or (roughly, not literally) "Damn, dude, I am so fucking roasted."
