I do know sauces don’t have emotions, but when they did, Taco Bell’s new Candy Chipotle BBQ Sauce should be feeling insecure as a result of within the new taco and burrito that characteristic it, it has to share the tight Tex-Mex area with one other sauce — Spicy Ranch. I can think about what this darkish coloured topping is likely to be considering, if it might assume.
“Am I not ok on my own?”
“What do I’ve to do for Taco Bell to consider in me?”
“Ought to I request a commerce and go to a different quick meals chain?”
Nicely, all these ideas are moot as a result of with the Taco Bell Candy Chipotle BBQ Crispy Hen Taco, that white creamy topping added nothing when it comes to taste or warmth to my order, so I’m undecided why Taco Bell included it within the first place. Together with two sauces, it options the identical substances as earlier Crispy Hen Tacos: a crispy rooster strip, purple cabbage, lettuce, pico de gallo, and shredded cheese all wrapped in a flour tortilla.
Now, let’s focus on the dark-colored Candy Chipotle BBQ Sauce, which is nice, however I don’t style something distinctive or particular. It has the acquainted smoky and candy flavors I’ve tasted with different quick meals barbecue sauces. It lacks a Taco Bell-esque aptitude that evokes the quick meals chain. There’s a slight kick, nevertheless it’s so gentle that I don’t wish to say it’s a kick. It’s extra like sticking your foot out through the hokie pokie.
Whereas the barbecue sauce tasted acquainted, I loved the flavors it added to the rooster and the taco. However it additionally offers every part an ordinary rooster nuggets/strips dipped into BBQ sauce vibe. I wouldn’t be stunned if it finally ends up being a sauce for the chain’s dippable rooster choices. Regardless of the 2 sauces throughout the tortilla, my rooster strip had a good crunchiness, which was enhanced barely by the colourful purple cabbage. The tomatoes and onions within the pico de gallo added bursts of taste that complement the condiment. Nonetheless, the Taco Bell-obligatory smattering of cheese didn’t make a distinction.
The $2.79 marketed value for Taco Bell’s Candy Chipotle BBQ Crispy Hen Taco is twenty cents lower than McDonald’s Snack Wrap, nevertheless it seems to be greater than twenty cents much less substantial than the Snack Wrap. Even with all of the colourful toppings and sauces, it nonetheless appears a tad dear when in comparison with McDonald’s wrapped rooster strip. Nonetheless, whereas I do want it have been just a little cheaper, this barbecue sauced taco remains to be one thing I’d order once more.
