Introducing the Three Cheese Nacho Grande Burrito and, to lesser effect, the Chicken Enchilada Burrito, both worth a taste or two.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Three Cheese Nacho Grande Burrito<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/20190103TB2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Grande Burritos 2\" title=\"20190103TB2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Three Cheese Nacho is composed of the always-welcomed seasoned beef, lovingly ladled reduced-fat sour cream and those crunchy red strips, but is additionally smothered in a vaunted mixture of the three-cheese blend and the beautiful nacho cheese sauce. Plump the way a fast food burrito should be, this triple queso meat shaft is the bomb, each bite exploding in your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>A particular point of interest, as usual, is the nacho cheese. Ain\u2019t nobody, especially in the world of corporate tacos, that does the electric yellow paste any better. Here, it mixes with the m\u00e9lange of sexy meat and red strips for a cost-effective fiesta of faux-Mexican delights.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Chicken Enchilada Grande Burrito<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/20190103TB3.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Grande Burritos 3\" title=\"20190103TB3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not ringing my Bell as much, however, is the Chicken Enchilada one. I know the name sounds more than appealing, but this combination of spicy shredded chicken, tangy red sauce, stand-by cheese and, of course, sour cream, has one dastardly downfall in abundance \u2014 make that overabundance \u2014 of TB\u2019s bland \u201cseasoned\u201d rice.<\/p>\n<p>If I were to order it again, I\u2019d ask them to hold the handful of rice kernels, because the sheer amount of them makes for a very dry, very flavorless competition with the delightful shredded chicken and red sauce. No enchilada I\u2019ve ever downed \u2014 chicken or otherwise \u2014 has ever had this much rice dumped in it and, if it did, it was either on the side or in the garbage, take your pick.<\/p>\n<p>But, I understand some of you like that; here you go, you can have the rest of mine.
