The smothered burrito was a regular menu item in 2016
One of Taco Bell’s many discontinued menu items, its signature smothered burrito was introduced to the market in 2016, but was unfortunately removed in 2018. Fans of the smothered burrito have been so devastated by its disappearance that one heartbroken customer created an entire Change.org petition dedicated to bringing it back. Lucky for the 147 supporters of the petition, a Taco Bell fanatic on Reddit solved the conundrum with a custom menu hack.
The Taco Bell customer posted a photo of a smothered burrito from Taco Bell with the caption, “Big thanks to this sub I was able to finagle a beefy 5 layer burrito into a smothered burrito. It’s like it’s 2016 again and I’ve never been happier.” The customer went on to elaborate that while it’s tricky to order online, they requested a steamed, 5-layer burrito in a nacho bowl with red sauce, extra cheese, and sour cream. One excited Redditor commented, “This is my favorite item of all time,” and another budget-friendly user added that, “It’s easier and cheaper to do it with a bean burrito since it has all the same ingredients already minus the beef.” Another person left a disappointing comment saying, “My taco bell wouldn’t do this when I asked. I ended up ordering everything on the side and just made it at home.” A for effort!
Next time your craving one, give this menu hack the old college try to see if you can get your hands on a custom-made smothered Taco Bell burrito.
