As many fast food restaurants strive to provide healthier meal options for their customers, there is always one chain that decides that eating healthy is overrated; enter the Doritos Locos Tacos. First it was Kentucky Fried Chicken with its Double Down sandwich and then more recently it was Denny's with its bacon sundae. Now Taco Bell is joining the ranks by introducing a taco shell made of Nacho Cheese Doritos.
Although it's just in its testing stage right now, the Doritos Locos Tacos are available in some restaurants, including one in Toledo, Ohio.
It's interesting to see if the Doritos Locos Tacos will be a hit. If so, they'll open up a floodgate of other deliciously flavored taco shells.
