Running a close second, however, is Taco Bell\u2019s latest (and less confounding) present to humanity, the graciously heaven-sent Triplelupa.<\/p>\n<p>A righteous blessing of three flavor favorites, the Triplelupa is a trio of small Chalupas connected into one, each tear-away pocket containing a taste sensation that we\u2019ve all come to know and love over these many years: trademarked nacho cheese, creamy chipotle sauce, and, last but certainly not least, a glorious combination of the two.<\/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\/2020\/03\/Taco-Bell-Triplelupa-Innards.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Triplelupa Innards\" title=\"Taco Bell Triplelupa Innards.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the Chalupa being arguably the finest offering on Taco Bell\u2019s menu, the Triplelupa is an embarrassment of riches that anyone should be thankful for. It starts with the custom fried outer shell that&#8217;s thick yet soft with a hidden crunch that always makes this precious snack into a bountiful meal.<\/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\/2020\/03\/Taco-Bell-Triplelupa-Nacho.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Triplelupa Nacho\" title=\"Taco Bell Triplelupa Nacho.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But, as you can guess, the filling is truly where it\u2019s at, starting with its world-famous nacho cheese. As expected, the yellow queso combines well with the seasoned meat, lettuce, tomato, and three-cheese blend, crafting near-perfection in two or three bites for this first section. <\/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\/2020\/03\/Taco-Bell-Triplelupa-Chipotle.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Triplelupa Chipotle\" title=\"Taco Bell Triplelupa Chipotle.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the second nosh with the chipotle sauce does a sanctified job of sending my soul to sing with the angels. The creamy kick of the pepper-infused condiment gives this middle portion a well-deserved morning mass to my tastebuds.<\/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\/2020\/03\/Taco-Bell-Triplelupa-Both.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Triplelupa Both\" title=\"Taco Bell Triplelupa Both.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That being said, it\u2019s in this third and final helping where the grand plan of Taco Bell\u2019s Mexican majesty shows itself to scores of hungry patrons just waiting for a sign of extreme essence. Like a miracle, the combined efforts of both the nacho cheese and the chipotle sauce create an unheard and unseen testament to the Triplelupa, crafting a liquid blanket that makes everything feel at peace.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s such a delightful combination, I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t admit that I licked the leftover refuse from the wrapper, recycling the lettuce and sauces that spilled out like a human compactor. If it wasn\u2019t raining down so hard right now, I would have desperately walked back to my Taco Bell to order another one of these Triplelupas &#8211; maybe two \u2014 for my own triumvirate of taste.<\/p>\n<p>Per usual, this thinking outside the bun mentality that birthed the Triplelupa is a <em>tour de sauce<\/em>, a reckoning and a revelation of Biblical proportions.
