Taco Bell is far from being ethnically offensive, because it is far from being representative of Mexican food.

You’re right, Taco Bell is way better.

(just kidding pls no hate)

Everyone knows it's a shitty photocopy of Tex-Mex. We eat it anyway because it's greasy, cheap food with a strong but not offensive flavour of some kind.

Cumin, paprika, and a touch of Cayenne, oh and some MSG

And then they combine a few stock ingredients together with it in one of many ways. Their marketing doesn't even bother to claim it's anything special, it's just like "here's a new, even more convoluted way to combine the exact same shit! DONG!!".

It's still hits the spot, though, and to cut them some slack my bean crunchwrap is mostly vegetables, which is more than you could say for pizza or a burger and fries.

Oh definitely. Makes it stupidly easy to make at home. Cheaper and faster too according to some YouTube cook vlogger. I abhore his cross contamination controls, or rather the complete lack thereof, but it's supposed to be a home cooking show, so whatever. Dude still manages to do some decent knife and fire work, so I'll watch to get ideas.

There are some things you don't joke about, taco bell actually being Mexican food is one of them. It might be a war crime to even joke it's better than Mexican food.
