Taco Bell Comes Up with New Recipes for Shredded Chicken, Rice

The new chicken should be more moist and features Mexican spices, tomato, onion, and garlic.

The new "Mexican-style" Seasoned Rice replaces Latin Rice on the menu and in various menu items. It is meant to be more flavorful and better complement the chain's other core ingredients. The rice is vegetarian-certified with a certified-vegan version to come by the end of summer.

Thank the taco gods. Latin rice is a plague that needs to be abolished ASAP. The single worst thing Chipotle has ever done to this nation.

Who goes to taco bell and orders rice?

 

[akira28]

what the hell is latin rice?

and who thought that was a good idea?

the idea of mexican rice makes my mouth water, but that's just because of the rice I got at good mexican restaurants.

This should affect any dish that has rice as an ingredient.

 

[Vyer]

Can't be any worse. That 'Latin rice' was terrible.

 

[Robot Pants]

Hmmmm. I LOVe The mini shredded chicken quesadilla. And the shredded chicken burrito.
Hopefully this makes them better and not worse

Okay, but it's a travesty that there's rice in any burrito and or taco to begin with!

 

[Forerunner]

Why can't I have both?

 

[RecRoulette]

I can't remember the last burrito I ordered from there that had rice (the Quesarito?), but the rice in it was terrible. So this seems like a good move.

 

[johnsmith]

Glad they're going back to the orange style rice. The white shit they have now is garbage.

Burritos with no rice? Filth.

Apparently authentic tacos don't have rice, I've been told. No cheese or sour cream either.

I always go for my authentic tacos, to Taco Bell

I bet you like pineapple on your pizza too!

 

[Fat4all]

good, i hate their rice

i always opt to not have it in any of my shit

 

[Zeuanimals]

Taco Bell's had the "new" Mexican rice for like 2 months now.

 

[shoplifter]

Thanks for pointing it out to us, I'm definitely going to go try it now.

That's crap, fluffy Mexican cheese on proper tacos is the best.

where the fuck are you eating tacos with rice?!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Some of their best items have rice in it, like the quesarito.

 

[Kite]

Lotsa Tex Mex places have tacos with Mexican fried rice. I've been to fusion restaurants who have tacos with jerk chicken fried rice and kimchi fried rice.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

where the fuck are you eating tacos with rice?!

Yeah what the fuck lol. Love being in California and having legit Mexican food everywhere.

 

[shoplifter]

How much do you get paid to shill this stuff, Xia?

 

[Ashodin]

ITS BACK FOR GOOD THE SEASONED RICE IS BACK FOR GOOD

YESSSSSSSSS

 

[Stinkles]

Where!?

burritos with rice is one thing (that i still hate), but rice in tacos sounds like the absolute worst.

Yeah what the fuck lol. Love being in California and having legit Mexican food everywhere.

for real, love socal.

 

[clearacell]

Okay, but it's a travesty that there's rice in any burrito and or taco to begin with!

considering a Bean, Cheese, and Rice burrito is like the bologna sandwich of Mexican food, I think you're crazy.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I remember when they got rid of the red rice, I was still working there. Cilantro rice was ass and a hop on the "fresco menu" stupid thing or whatever.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

They have rice meals? I didn't know that.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Can't judge until I get Dan Ryckert's opinion on this.

 

[thetrin]

What?! Rice in burritos is great.

It's a cheap space filler because beans are a more expensive addition. I don't want to double down on extra pointless carbs. I didn't think it was a weird opinion like people who enjoy pineapple on pizza.

considering a Bean, Cheese, and Rice burrito is like the bologna sandwich of Mexican food, I think you're crazy.

It's not, though. It's like if that bologna sandwich had oatmeal along with the meat, cheese, and bread.

 

[Tagyhag]

Hope it's good, the rice in the Fritos Burrito isn't great but it complements it well.

 

[ZealousD]

If you put shit on a tortilla and fold it, then it's a taco.

 

[KyleCross]

[MGrant]

He's right. Tasteless filler that could be replaced by more meat.

 

[shoelacer]

I hope you get paid for these lol

 

[Sub_Level]

On a tangential note, have any of you had their $1 grilled breakfast burritos? Pretty damn good for a dollar. Ask for them "Fresco style" if you don't like their melted nacho cheese that they put on every other food item there.

 

[Sanjuro]

Just feed me a cheesy gordita crunch until I'm not breathing.

 

[sc0la]

They have had this in my market for a couple of months. It's awful and made everything with rice in it worse. Cheesy bean and rice burritos are not my go to anymore

 

[Tagyhag]

Eat better rice

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Normally I wouldn't want either but when they have that 89cent

I can't pass that up.

 

[Jaeger]

Every authentic Mexican restaurant I went to has rice burrito options. It's fucking delicious.

 

[Bread]

Eat better rice

Eat better burritos

 

[highrider]

Hope it's good, the rice in the Fritos Burrito isn't great but it complements it well.

It's just for texture really.
