Last night we decided to attempt to duplicate the incredible Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunch. We had attempted this feat in the past, without much success (using the taco bell package straight from the shelf). This time the attempt again wasn't as smooth as we had hoped. Though they looked delicious it's seemingly impossible to duplicate the soft, chewy, crunchy nature that is The Cheesy Gordita. With a soft exterior pita like shell, followed by a layer of cheese sauce, followed by a hard shell filled with the contents of a typical meaty cheesy taco, Taco Bell does it right. We can only chase their perfection of the beast, or just accept that we must pay $2.99 for this delicacy.
Maybe if i didn't try to heat up the soft tacos (which made them hard) we would have been all seT!!! sorry :-(
ReplyDelete1. Soft taco/pita (warmed on covered plate in microwave--just a few seconds)
ReplyDelete2. Shredded cheese
3. Hard taco (best lightly toasted to make it extra crispy)
4. Meat (with taco seasoning)
5. Special sauce (essentially mayo blended with roasted peppers and tabasco sauce)
6. Veggies (salsa, lettuce...)
I've found that this combination/method yields a pretty good gordita crunch.
