Taco Bell's dipping taco is fast food's take on birria, and it's one of the most exciting items currently on the menu.
Taco Bell is a lot of things. Peak late-night food? Sure. The best fast-food restaurant in the continental U.S.? Maybe! An authority on Mexican food? Absolutely not. This is the institution that’s brought us Mountain Dew Baja Blast and the Mexican Pizza, the house that taco shells made out of Doritos built.
For the uninitiated, birria is a style of slow-braised meat that gets shredded after cooking. It’s delicious. Good birria is salty, spicy, ever so slightly sweet and hearty. Most places that serve birria serve it with a consommé made from its braising juices, which is just about as packed with flavor as you can get. That’s part of why it’s become so popular in the U.S.
It’s a lot for a fast food item. Not only is the chain using a whole new type of meat for the dish, the taco also gets grilled with cheese inside and out, creating a crispy layer of cheese on the outside, potentially adding to prep time.
