Taco Bell Still Not Understanding The Definition of ‘Taco’

But getting there, at least.

We have been over this before, Taco Bell’s apparent confusion as to its namesake food. Does a waffle belong in a taco? No. Do Doritos belong in tacos? Well, questionable. Do Frito chips belong in a taco, as told by an investor report and reported by Business Insider? Maybe? We think? We don’t know what’s right and wrong anymore.

There there, Taco Bell — let’s go over the definition of a taco again:

a Mexican food that consists of a folded and usually fried piece of thin bread (called a tortilla) that is filled with meat, cheese, lettuce, etc.

As we noted before, the common denominator of a taco is the outer shell, better known as the tortilla. (Note that a tortilla and a waffle, or any other breakfast food, are not the same.) We will give Taco Bell this: corn tortillas and Frito chips share at least one main ingredient, corn. Wikipedia sources we can’t verify Legend has it that the original recipe came from a recipe for fried masa, which again, is corn. So hurray, Taco Bell, you’re getting there?

That doesn’t mean we’ll be wanting to try this Frito-taco-ness anytime soon though. And why oh why can’t we just get a regular breakfast burrito on the menu??
