Not Locos for Cool Ranch

One reason we were counting down the days until Easter was because we wanted to try the new cool ranch Doritos locos tacos at Taco Bell. We gave up red meat for Lent which meant no locos tacos. We really liked the original Doritos locos tacos when we tried them last year and have been looking forward to the cool ranch flavor ever since we heard they were on their way. 

Just like last time, we each tried one of the supreme tacos, which meant it came with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream.

Sadly, this taco did not live up to our expectations. We were really excited about cool ranch, especially with the hype that led up to it for months and months. But the flavor match just wasn't there like it was with the nacho cheese Doritos locos tacos. (The taco last year looked better too.) The shell here did taste like cool ranch Doritos, but it just didn't work as well with the rest of the taco ingredients. Our guess is that the sour cream flavor was too similar to that of the cool ranch.

What we are on the lookout for are the new Doritos locos tacos Doritos chips. We originally thought it was a little circular - Doritos that taste like the shell of the taco which is made of Doritos - but we have since heard that there are actual taco flavored chips mixed in with the Doritos flavor chips. Definitely worth a try for us!
