Custom Creations

Taco Bell is a bit like the "Choose Your Own Adventure" chain of the fast food world. Find the Quesarito a bit lacking? Add jalapenos and potatoes, and top it off with nacho fries. Want a vegetarian version of the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito? Substitute the beef with potatoes. Making adjustments are easy, with Taco Bell even encouraging its fans to hack its menu. Redditors recently shared their favorite custom menu items, including a budget-friendly steak burrito, a divine black bean Quesarito, and an order that tastes like "childhood." Have a favorite customized order at Taco Bell? Let us know in the comments.
