The Taco Bell Bacon Ranch Tortada

In the spirit of the days when Giant Bomb tackled all sorts of crazy food and energy drinks, I wanted to write a bit about Taco Bell's newest offering. So this blog post is about food and the unnecessary detail that follows. The Bacon Ranch Tortada is pretty filling for it's size. I almost considered buying two of them but I was careful not to have eyes bigger than my stomach. It's got chicken, bacon, chopped tomatoes, lettuce and ranch. The one I got was pretty dry and needed a lot more ranch, but it was tasty. The wrap style makes it a clean food item to go after for the most part. A few pieces of chicken and tomato spilled out when I picked it up. I don't go to Taco Bell a lot, but basically my bar is set at the Cheesy Gordita Crunch level and the tortada has a long way to go before it beats that. I don't know if I'll go after the Salsa Roja Tortada. Spicy things really aren't my style.
 
As that joke goes, Taco Bell food is the same five ingredients repackaged in different ways. And the tortada isn't a bad way to do it.

What the hell is a 'tortada'?! These jackasses need to stop making up random words and applying them to 'mexican' food. They're just turning into a parody of themselves by now

The Salsa Roja one wasn't that great.
From now on, Cruchwrap Supreme will be the only thing I get at Taco Bell.

That sounds great. I haven't seen one, but I'm sure I could eat two of 'em. Is the chicken the same as the kind that they put in the chicken soft tacos? I don't like that chicken, it tastes like poop. Now, Del Taco's chicken soft taco's are pretty tasty.

Yeah, I love bacon and ranch together. That's what encouraged me to go try the Bacon Ranch Tortada. It's not bad on the scale of things I've had with bacon and ranch in them.
