Death of a Legend

Taco Bell seven layer burrito

 

 

With immense sadness enveloping my being and belly I whimper to all that Taco Bell has sent the 7-layer burrito into a different dimension leaving it inaccessible to mortal beings. I will never forgive the corporate business suit-wearing demons for this unholy unAmerican action.

From the food section of “The Takeout” Web site we read:

 

Taco Bell is removing the 7-Layer Burrito from its menu

 

For many years I rarely placed an order at Taco Bell that did not include a wonderful 7-layer burrito. The Taco Bell Wiki informs the curious that:

The 7-Layer Burrito is a large, meatless burrito filled with tomatoes, re-fried beans, seasoned rice, three-cheese blend, low-fat sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce in a flour tortilla. The burrito was introduced to Taco Bell customers in the United States in 1993 for vegetarian customers. The original introductory price was 0.99 cents at most locations.

It was discontinued on August 13, 2020 in an effort to streamline the menu to make ordering faster and easier during the current pandemic.

 

2020 – 1993 =  over a quarter-century of fine fast-food exquisite dining munching on the beloved 7-layer burrito.

Is there any possibility that Taco Bell will hear the cries of anguish and outrage of 7-layer burrito lovers across the USA and maybe outlaying territories and even foreign countries if there are Taco Bells in those far-flung places and they serve the mighty 7-layer burrito and bring our hero back for ordering?

Maybe Taco Bell will emulate that McDonalds evermore-pricey place and bring the 7-layer back only occasionally for a limited time then only to disappear and leave a ravenous population craving then craving more the tasty 7-layer burrito. If Taco Bell does that stunt then I know their are sadists in the Taco Bell Marketing department.

Gone forever or will we have a future of intermittent availability leaving us 7-layer-less the vast majority of the time. To avoid either of these scenarios We, the Eaters of the USA can and will fight back in the patriotic manner our forebears fought and struck down tyranny!!!

 

How To Make The Discontinued Taco Bell 7 Layer Burrito At Home

 

Eaters, the link above is the most complex convoluted morass imaginable. However, for the folks who desire that type of crafting their own 7-layer burrito there it is. The “normal” folks of the realm can ignore the more complex activities and replace them with the lazy person’s methods thus bypassing those time-consuming arduous natural-method routines.

Maybe I can find a simplified recipe for those finding it too strenuous or confusing to deconstruct  the morass above.

 

I did a Web search using “Taco Bell 7 layer burrito copycat recipe” at that horrid New World Order-loving Google search engine.  “About 540,000 results (0.44 seconds).”

I urge all 7-layer burrito connoisseurs to seek their own recipe and select the one or two or several and maybe many that catch your eye and/or interest and give them a try. If you fins a groovy one that works well be a swell gal or guy and leave a link to the recipe in the comment section below.

For the ultra-lazy with barely the energy to to make their own burrito and dreading delving into the Web here is a lazy-persons guide to crafting their own do-it-yourself 7-layer edible love fest:

 

7 LAYER BURRITO  Taco Bell Restaurant Copycat Recipe

 

When I create my own 7-layer burrito I shall play around with adding the ingredients at different amounts and while eating will select the ingredient amounts that result in the tastiest burrito. I will also try different brands of ingredients, where applicable, and taste away. If the cheaper brands taste good price will be my guide.

These are the basic ingredients:

12-inch flour tortilla
refried beans
shredded lettuce
guacamole
shredded cheese
Spanish-style rice
sour creme

Play with the variables. Maybe you will add a new ingredient personalizing the 7-layer and making it an 8 or 9 or more burrito. Maybe you are a minimalist minded eater and a 6-layer burrito will be your friend in the future.

Regular rice can likely be substituted for Spanish-style rice. I believe that the proper use of spice can make up for not using Spanish-style rice.

The future is ours!!! Forced by freaks infesting a corporate board room or wherever they lurk within the Taco Bell building where fools collude with each other to make life miserable for the masses of common folks consumers looked down upon by those elite-class tyrants lording over us.

NO MORE!!! We, the Eaters will make our own damn burritos and they may be better than the defunct Bell-built burritos and will likely cost less to much less for us to build than for the price demanded by Taco Bell.

 

Happy Eating!!!
