NEWS: Taco Bell’s Quad Steak Burrito Is Perhaps Their Way of Saying ‘You Want Beef? I Got Your Beef Right Here.’

Old School Taco Bell in Tustin, CA

Taco Bell has been in the news recently due to a lawsuit that claims Taco Bell’s seasoned ground beef can’t be called “beef” because it doesn’t meet the minimum USDA requirements to be labeled “beef.” With all of this “Where’s the beef?” talk, I find it funny (and coincidental) that Taco Bell just introduced their Quad Steak Burrito and Quad Steak Quesadilla.

The burrito is made up of four portions of Taco Bell’s new thick and tender steak, seasoned rice, fire-roasted salsa, reduced-fat sour cream and cheddar cheese in a flour tortilla. But if you have issues with stuffing your mouth with foods that are phallic, Taco Bell has your back with their Quad Steak Quesadilla, which also has four portions of Taco Bell’s new steak, along with a triple by-pass of cheeses — cheddar, pepper jack and mozzarella — and a creamy jalapeno sauce in a toasted tortilla.

The burrito contains 690 calories, 26 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 2,210 milligrams of sodium, 72 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber and 41 grams of protein. The quesadilla has 750 calories, 36 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 2,210 milligrams of sodium, 60 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber and 46 grams of protein.

For those of you trying to keep your girlish figure, Taco Bell is also offering a Double Steak Burrito and Quesadilla. Actually, since the Double Steak Burrito has 610 calories, 10 grams of saturated fat, and 1,720 milligrams of sodium, while the quesadilla has 660 calories 13 grams of saturated fat, and 1,720 milligrams of sodium, I really meant to say “for those of you trying to ruin your girlish figure.”
