Taco Bell tests shell made of Doritos : Hot Topics

Taco Bell is not new to the novelty food game; half the items on their menu are semi-edible objects contrived out of a taco crammed into something else on the menu. Yet they are still relatively tame compared to the infamous KFC Double down or Denny's Maple Bacon Sundae.

So they might be stepping up their game with explorations into taco shells made from Doritos Nacho Cheese chips.

There was significant buzz this week surrounding a nearly year-old Youtube video which was unearthed showing a dude taste-testing one of the Doritofied tacos and Grub Grade released close-up photos of the shells being test marketed in Toledo, Ohio, a hotbed of Mexican cuisine.

No comment from The Bell on a potential nation-wide release.

I like Doritos but for some reason this doesn't sound that great to me.

Doritos tortillas are made with way too much sodium to work as a taco shell.

I think I could totally pass on that. I get a feeling the shell will taste like crap.

I'll pass. I'll pass on Taco Bell altogether.

I agree that this can't taste that good. The flavor of Doritos is too harsh for tacos.

I think these would go over with many. I have seen more and more concession stands sell walking tacos, which are large cups or bowls that have Doritos, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and meat. It is basically a taco salad that a person can carry around. I have seen them a ton locally and was very surprised to see them at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Dosen't matter what they use Taco Bell is pretty gross.
