At first glance, it looks badly burnt and overcooked, but images can be deceiving. This taco shell, while nowhere near the genius of the <a href=https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2019\/09\/17\/taco-bell-toasted-cheddar-chalupa-review\/ >Toasted Cheddar Chalupa<\/a>, still makes a delicious enough mark on the ever-changing and always evolving Taco Bell menu.<\/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\/10\/Taco-Bell-Forbidden-Melt-Taco-3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Forbidden Melt Taco 3\" title=\"Taco Bell Forbidden Melt Taco 3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But, to this hungry Chicano, what truly makes the Forbidden Melt even better is the titular &#8220;melted&#8221; part inside the taco shell. Beyond the zesty meat, cool reduced-fat sour cream, iceberg lettuce, and shards of cheese is what has to be a good ladle&#8217;s worth of Taco Bell&#8217;s patented nacho cheese, poured along the edible fault-line, definitely making it even more verboten.<\/p>\n<p>The main problem \u2014 and this, sadly, is usually an issue with many Taco Bell products \u2014 is that while the molten cheese is a bright yellow cream dream come true, after a few minutes of sitting in the bag, the belly of this blue corn beast swells to a mostly soggy mess. The cheese sauce completely seeps through the specially-made taco shell.<\/p>\n<p>The one tip I have to defeat this meat-loosening bulge? Take some time, try to relax, and enjoy the Taco Bell Forbidden Melt Taco fresh out of the fryer, while the outside is still a crispy lark and the inside a gooey mess. Instead of going through the drive-thru, how about setting up in the dining area, quietly learning to love this blue corn-based forbidden fruit Taco Bell menu item.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $1.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> Unavailable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Taco Bell that&#8217;s closest to my house is a very special one: it always has the special test items that only very special people in very special cities get to taste, well before the less-special general public even hears about them.
